80% of Endesa’s dual vocational training students in distribution grids receive a job offer

  • 81% of the 74 students who completed the second class of Endesa’s dual vocational training (FP Dual) programme in distribution grids have already received a job offer.
  • The programme, launched in 2022 and involving 200 students so far, will start its fourth edition this September in collaboration with six regional governments and Endesa’s contractor companies.
  • Through 2,000 hours of training —with 100 hours in safety— the initiative aims to train young talent, including women, for a sector that will see €53 billion in investment by 2030.
  • Testimonials from students and contractors highlight how FP Dual connects theory with practice, opens up job opportunities, and helps showcase the potential of the electricity sector to younger generations.

 

After two years of training, 74 students completed one of two courses that comprise Endesa’s FP Dual programme in distribution grids: the intermediate programme in electrical and automated installations or the advanced programme in electrotechnical and automated systems. Of these, 81% have already received a job offer.

This was the second class of the FP Dual programme launched in September 2022, which has already engaged 29 schools, 85 teachers, and 200 students. Currently, 112 of them are working for Endesa’s contractor companies, while others have chosen to work for different companies or continue their studies.

The programme’s success, with performance indicators improving year after year, has led Endesa to announce a fourth edition, beginning in September with teacher training. The programme will continue with the support of the education departments of six autonomous communities: —Andalusia, Aragon, the Canary Islands, Catalonia, Extremadura, and the Balearic Islands— as well as e-distribución, Endesa’s distribution grid subsidiary, and its contractors.

The goal of the programme is to attract and train young talent, including women, in the distribution grid sector —a key area of the energy transition. According to the latest update of the National Integrated Energy and Climate Plan, the sector will require €53 billion in investment between now and 2030.

This two-year initiative offers 2,000 hours of theoretical and practical training with a strong focus on technical safety training (100 hours). This way, it aims to improve the employability of local communities in the areas where Endesa’s distribution grid operates.

‘This FP Dual programme addresses the challenge of attracting young talent and improving local employability. Simultaneously, it makes the most of the job opportunities created by the energy transition and, more specifically, the upgrade of distribution grids. We believe in an energy transition that not only transforms the economic model but also trains those who make it possible,’ explained Virginia Ocio, Head of Circular Economy Iberia at Endesa.

FP Dual brings classrooms closer to companies by combining theoretical training with practical experience, giving students a pathway to build a career in the electricity distribution sector. Internships gave students the chance to experience firsthand Endesa’s fieldwork to ensure electricity supply while modernising and adapting the grid to the challenges of the energy transition. They also opened the door to finding their first jobs.

One example is Lidia Antón, a young talent who successfully completed the training and accepted a job offer from Eiffage. ‘In my last year of secondary school, I attended a module on medium- and low-voltage grid operation and maintenance,’ recalls Lidia, who saw other students already participating in real-world training: climbing towers, working in substations, and designing safety tests. That motivated her to enrol in Endesa’s FP Dual programme in distribution grids: ‘The connection between what you learn in the classroom and what you experience in the field is what enriches me most. Plus, working in this sector means contributing to the future. To other girls, I would say: go for it; don’t dismiss it thinking it’s just for boys. This is a sector you may very well enjoy.’

From a contractor’s perspective, this programme is a very important tool for young people to get to know a sector with a huge future. ‘I myself was a trainer 21 years ago, teaching technicians who are now supervisors. The outlook we see today is growth,’ said Enrique Parra, Head of Performance, Development, and Training at Grupo Elecnor.

Parra also noted that many students imagine electricity as something limited to small domestic installations. Still, he believes that thanks to this programme they can discover that working with medium- and low-voltage systems means operating in modern, large-scale infrastructure.
