Galicia Regional Government (Xunta) advances on the new agreement with the Aixola Training Centre for next academic year
The Director General for Fisheries Development, Marta Villaverde, visited the A Aixola Training Centre in the Port of Marín (Pontevedra) to see first-hand the work in the different ongoing training activities, as well as its facilities. In addition, the regional director discussed with the centre’s managers about a new agreement and the training offer for the next academic year.
The director toured the different workshops of the centre and highlighted the educational quality. The centre, managed by the Consellería do Mar through the Centro Tecnológico del Mar-Fundación CETMAR, has achieved excellent results in terms of employability of the students. In fact, in 2023 most of the students who sought employment entered the labour market after their training, while the rest continued their formative itinerary, achieving about 70% of employability.
A Aixola has planned seven training courses this year. The offer consisted on 84 places for students linked to the fishing sector. Making a total of 1,600 hours of training for free, the classes will benefit fishing operators, shellfish gatherers, their spouses or people with qualifications or certificates for working in the fishing sector.
