The Erasmus+ program is being utilized to enhance vocational training and international mobility within Spain. In Pontevedra, the Diputación has approved a budget exceeding 900,000 euros to support 65 vocational students in completing approximately six months of training at European institutions. This initiative, involving 38 educational centers, aims to improve youth employability through international professional experience.

Broadly, the program has evolved from a university-focused exchange into a framework covering higher education, vocational training, and adult education. In the Valencian Community, participation rates have increased, with 4,553 local students participating in the 2024-2025 academic year. Additionally, the program's geographic scope has expanded, with approximately 20% of the international mobility budget now financing stays outside of Europe.
