This week at 𝐄𝐮𝐫𝐨𝐯𝐨𝐜𝐚, we have the absolute pleasure of hosting an inspiring group of educators and professionals from Haskovo, Bulgaria, for a job shadowing program focused on Innovations in Vocational Education and Training (VET)!
Here is a glimpse into their journey so far:

Upon arrival, our participants were welcomed and checked into our high-quality accommodations by our colleagues Aran and Pedro. We kicked off the experience with a lovely city tour through Valencia. Our guests were amazed to learn just how much Valencia has contributed to the world through its historical and modern inventions!

At the Eurovoca Training Centre, we dove straight into an introduction to the Spanish Education System. Together, we explored key differences between education in Spain and Bulgaria, highlighted the success of Spain’s dual vocational system, and discussed how VET is rapidly expanding across the country.

Yesterday was truly inspiring! We visited IES Lluís Simarro, a recognized Centre of Vocational Excellence in Xàtiva. This institution is pushing boundaries with cutting-edge AI and Big Data projects, featuring:
🔹 An internal AI system loaded with a custom knowledge base—ensuring students get curriculum-aligned, teacher-approved responses instantly.
🔹 Smart home sensors and actuators controlled by AI throughout the facility, turning the school into a living lab for modern innovation.

Today, we visited Xabec, the top vocational school in Valencia! Cristina kindly guided us around the impressive facilities and explained the school’s forward-thinking educational plan. Their students gave our job shadowing participants a very warm welcome! Xabec stands out for its direct industry connections, operating as a specialized VET provider for major partners like Stadler (train manufacturing) and Air Nostrum (aircraft maintenance).

Integrating these types of AI, smart automation, and real-world industrial partnerships into training is something Eurovoca is proud to support for both teachers and students, helping educational institutions become more efficient, modern, and sustainable.
A huge thank you to our Bulgarian guests and the teams at IES Lluís Simarro and Xabec! We remain committed to empowering the next generation with state-of-the-art technology and training. 🇪🇸🤝🇧🇬
