Students collaborating on a project to improve local commerce.

The Chamber of Commerce of Valls, the Shopkeepers' Union, and the Jaume Huguet Institute have launched a collaboration to revitalize local commerce in Valls. The aim is for students of the CFGM in Commercial Activities to bring an innovative perspective to businesses.

This initiative will allow second-year students of the CFGM in Commercial Activities to apply their knowledge in a real-world setting, conducting a comprehensive diagnosis of five key areas for four establishments in the city: Repunts, Valls Electrodomèstics, Dolça Fantasia, and MADD Valls.
The students, divided into supervised teams, will analyze aspects such as window displays, interior layout, warehouse management, digital presence, and promotional calendars. This analysis will identify areas for improvement and generate proposals adapted to new consumer habits.
The project, which began on September 21st and will run until the end of April, is designed to minimize disruption to the daily operations of the businesses, with visits limited to twice a month during school hours.
Participating businesses commit to implementing at least one of the student-proposed improvements, allowing students to assess the real impact of their ideas. This pilot project, led by the Chamber of Commerce of Valls, may see future editions if the evaluation is positive.
