Spain has implemented various specialized vocational training programs to address specific labor market demands. Initial initiatives focused on the sociosanitary sector, including programs in Tui and Aguilar de Campoo designed to train caregivers for dependent individuals through both theoretical and practical instruction.

Subsequent efforts expanded to include more specialized healthcare training, such as a course by the Asociación Soriana de Atención a la Dependencia (ASAD) focused on managing behavioral changes in patients with Alzheimer’s and dementia. Additionally, the defense industry has emerged as a significant area for vocational training, driven by increased investment and a high demand for technical professionals.
