The students of the first year of the superior degree of "Water Management" of the IES La Rosaleda de Málaga join their second year classmates who were already working in both companies and there will be a total of 11, divided between Torremolinos, Marbella and Rincon de la Victoria

Hidralia and its mixed company Aguas de Torremolinos continue to bet on the Dual Vocational Training as a youth system to carry out the generational replacement of its staff. This week, seven new first-year students of the “Water Management” degree at IES La Rosaleda (Málaga) have joined the four second-year students who were already working in companies. In this way, during this course Aguas de Torremolinos will have a total of four Dual Vocational Training students, and Hidralia with seven, four of them at its farm in Marbella and three at the Rincón de la Victoria farm. This is the third course in which the students will carry out their professional practices in both companies.

This model, which combines the training of students with their presence in the workplace, is pioneering in Andalusia as it is the first experience with students in higher cycles of dual vocational training in the water cycle, since the one taught at the IES La Rosaleda is the only one of its kind at the regional level.

Hidralia and Aguas de Torremolinos continue to bet on stable and quality employment and on a successful model that has been rooted for more than a decade within the Agbar group, to which Hidralia and its mixed companies belong. Since 2012, the Escuela del Agua has promoted the development of dual Vocational Training, based on public-private collaboration with the different administrations and institutes, not only in the case of Andalusia, but also in Catalonia, Galicia, Madrid, Murcia, the Valencian Community and Canary Islands.

The water sector, as a key actor for the green economy, generates trust and contributes to the development of other sectors by executing projects to advance sustainable development and acting against the climate emergency. This, consequently, translates into new jobs and, therefore, different horizons open up for Dual Vocational Training students.
