The educational group thePower Education has launched Tecnio, its ambitious new advanced technical training center, located at Calle los Cerrajeros, 10, in Alcorcón. Covering 3,000 square meters across four floors, this complex is positioned as the largest of its kind on the European continent.
Tecnio's primary goal is to achieve a 100% employability rate for its students, thereby helping to alleviate the current talent gap affecting Spanish industry. Its facilities are designed to train over 5,000 students annually, through an intensive training model delivered by a teaching team of more than 20 specialized professionals.
The center boasts state-of-the-art equipment, including latest-generation welding booths, fully equipped automotive workshops, technical classrooms dedicated to electricity, and specific areas for training in thermal systems and photovoltaic solar energy. The welding area, in particular, has become a strategic core of the center due to the high demand for these profiles in the labor market.
“"We are facing a paradigm shift in technical training. Industry can no longer afford long adaptation periods or profiles that require additional training once hired. This center responds precisely to that demand: to train professionals with technical criteria, operational capacity, and real experience from the outset. Our goal is to directly align training with the productive needs of companies and contribute to solving a talent deficit that is already structural in key sectors of the economy. This center is just the first step in an expansion plan with which we seek to replicate this model in other regions of Spain."
According to data provided by Tecnio, the demand for training in technical profiles saw a 20% increase in 2026 compared to 2025. This sustained growth is attributed to the continuous absorption of these professionals by the business sector. However, the number of qualified profiles has decreased due to generational replacement, representing one of the most significant challenges for the industry.
