A group of students from CIFP Virgen de Gracia in Puertollano has achieved third prize in the Aula ProEmprende competition. Their project stood out for its creativity and viability, demonstrating that vocational training in the region drives innovative ideas. This recognition represents a step forward for local development and job creation based on young talent.

Technical innovation and viability as the project's keys 🚀

The competition evaluated criteria such as originality, market analysis, and the economic sustainability of the proposals. The winning team applied agile methodologies and digital tools to validate their idea, from rapid prototypes to financial simulations. This technical approach, combined with a practical vision, allowed the project to stand out among dozens of participants, demonstrating that current vocational training integrates real technological skills for the labor market.

Meanwhile, the rest of us try to set up a badge business 😅

While these students are already planning how to scale their project and conquer the market, the rest of us mortals continue debating whether or not to put a coffee machine in the neighborhood association. They take the prize, and we take the experience of having participated in the brainstorming phase at the bar. But hey, next time we might get motivated and present a business plan to sell packaged sand.
