After three editions, over 1,000 participants, 135 projects, and €36,000 awarded, the Premios Transferencia de Conocimiento de la FP are back for their fourth edition, organized by the Asociación de Centros de Formación Profesional FPEmpresa and Grupo Esprinet. The submission period opens from February 12, 2025, until February 27 of the same year.
The aim of the call is to raise the visibility of women in professional fields where their presence is minimal; in many of these fields, their representation does not exceed 5%, as is the case in areas such as Manufacturing and Mechanics, Installation and Maintenance, Energy and Water… This edition adds the professional fields of Image and Sound, as well as Extractive Industries, two areas where female enrollment is very low. Additionally, this 4th edition introduces a new feature: a second third-place prize, meaning more vocational training centers and teams will receive financial recognition for their projects.
The participating teams must be related to professional fields in Vocational Training where there is a gender gap and must consist of 50% female students or be led by female instructors from these professional fields.
Development and Requirements
On March 6, 2025, at 11:00 AM, the challenge will be presented in an online event that all participating teams must attend. These teams will have until March 27, 2025, to submit a video of no more than 3 minutes, clearly and concisely presenting a technological solution to the challenge. The proposal must also contribute to achieving at least one of the Sustainable Development Goals beyond gender equality. Additionally, they must prepare a list of materials and resources required to implement the solution. The winning teams will be announced on May 30, 2025.
The annual collaboration will conclude with two training sessions that maintain a strong commitment to enhancing the knowledge of Vocational Training students in an increasingly digitalized environment. Through one-hour online sessions, FPEmpresa will organize these initiatives, where experts from Grupo Esprinet will share their knowledge and experience.
Through these awards, not only are the objectives proposed by the 2030 Agenda for social justice and inclusion followed—particularly those focused on gender equality—but also digitalization is promoted, and the connection between students and the real-world business environment is fostered through collaboration with Grupo Esprinet.
