EASEC Awards ceremony scheduled for Jan 26 2027 at Valencia's CaixaForum

The European Association for the Certification of Skills and Competences (EASEC) will present its 2027 Awards on 26 January 2027 at the CaixaForum Valencia, located in the Ágora of the City of Arts and Sciences. The ceremony, organized in partnership with Fundación "la Caixa", will honour institutions, universities, companies and professionals that demonstrate human and employability competencies with verifiable evidence.

The venue, designed by Santiago Calatrava, can accommodate more than 6,000 attendees. EASEC, headquartered in Valencia, operates in over 64 countries. Fundación "la Caixa", one of Spain's largest private foundations, reported a 2026 budget of €710 million, with roughly 60 % allocated to social‑transformation programmes such as Incorpora, which placed over 39,000 vulnerable individuals in jobs in 2025 through collaboration with more than 15,000 firms. Both organisations share the goal of expanding real‑world opportunities for people seeking employment.
