The aquaculture and aquaculture crop cycles will be complemented with more practical training adapted to the demand of the professional profiles of the business sector.

The City Council of San Pedro del Pinatar hosted a working meeting to address the future of Vocational Training in the town and assess its current status chaired by the mayor, Visitación Martínez, and the General Director of Vocational Training and Special Regime Education, Sergio Lopez

This meeting focused especially on the Aquaculture training cycles, so it was attended by the management team of the IES Manuel Tárraga Escribano, where these lessons are taught, as well as entrepreneurs from the aquaculture sector in the Region, a national leader in the production of aquaculture products, mainly in the cultivation of sea bream (34% of national production) and sea bass (21%).

The technical profiles that arise from the middle and higher grades of Aquaculture and Aquaculture Crops allow to work on the cultivation, reproduction and fattening of fish, crustaceans, molluscs and phytoplankton;

repair and maintenance of related equipment and facilities, as well as environmental and quality control technicians of fishing products.

In addition, the companies of the sector demand other additional competences, so the Community modified the curriculum of these cycles to include the professional module of basic training in Maritime Safety, which allows students to embark.

Another of the demands of the sector is that professionals can perform dives and work underwater, so several solutions were analyzed such as complementing the formation of these cycles with a certificate of professionalism, taught in collaboration with the SEF, 320 hours of duration that will begin in the third quarter of 2019 of "Underwater activities for aquaculture facilities and resources", with which they can make dives up to 30 meters.

In addition, 3 additional diving modules may be taken to deepen this competition, in order to respond to the needs of companies with practical training and adjusted to the professional profiles demanded.

During the meeting it was also agreed to strengthen the dissemination and publicity of the training cycles implemented in the municipality, as well as the participation in activities and events organized by the Ministry of Education, such as the European FP Week.
