Some are out of work and are looking to obtain a degree that will allow them to apply for more jobs.

The prospects for the Spanish labor market in the future offer interesting data; vacancies will be oriented (more than 65%) towards Vocational Training.

According to various studies, of the total job offers, around 38% need people with university degrees. While the demand for higher degree FP titles is at 42%. These indicators contrast with the figures from a few years ago, where the most in demand were professional titles.
