The Sant Cugat Education Fair returns on February 24 and 25 to offer personalized guidance to students regarding studies and career opportunities.

The Sant Cugat Education Fair will be held on February 24 and 25 under the slogan "Guide your talent," serving as the central activity of the Guidance Week promoted by the City Council. This event seeks to help young people discover and nurture their talent, offering information about the centers and studies available in the city.
In an increasingly complex and changing labor market, which requires new profiles adapted to technological advancements, the fair highlights the need for well-trained professionals. It also emphasizes professions that, despite having lost social prestige, remain a good career path, especially those linked to Vocational Training.

Vocational Training brings the student closer to the job market much earlier than university degrees, opening new horizons and goals to achieve.

The Fair dedicates an entire afternoon to Vocational Training (FP), highlighting the Dual modality, which is crucial for connecting companies and students and facilitating job placement. In addition to general options, lesser-known pathways such as the Training and Insertion Programs (PFI) are promoted, which function to reincorporate students into the educational system or the workforce.
Adequate guidance from educational centers and public institutions is essential to ensure a good fit between the student and their studies. For this reason, the Sant Cugat City Council promotes initiatives such as the Bitàcola program and the Guidance Week, considered key to preventing early school leaving.
