The Barcelona Activa programmes offer new courses with the arrival of spring. The agency launches calls for free and short-length professional training in sectors with high demand. The Forma't i fes-ho oficial (Get trained and make it official) and Sectorial Reskilling programmes offer specialised itineraries in different professions to promote work improvement. 

Forma't i fes-ho oficial aims to improve the employability of the participants and the preparation to access occupations with a future in the world of work. The initiative endorses the training with a certificate of professionalism. An official qualification recognised in areas such as creative industries, business and sports activities, food and smart advanced industry. 

The programme, promoted in collaboration with the SOC (The Catalan Employment Service) and the Barcelona Education Consortium, allows you to improve your professional qualification and learn a new trade. In addition to the classroom sessions, the itineraries also offer contact with companies and networking spaces with the sector, elements that guarantee a competitive advantage in the labour market. 

As a new feature, at the beginning of 2024, Barcelona Activa opened a new information point for the accreditation of professional skills. This free and online service is integrated into the Vocational Training and Qualification system and will make it easier for more people to obtain an official qualification that will allow them to improve their employability. For more information, you can consult the Press release. 

In addition to the certified training, you can also participate in the courses of Sectorial reskilling. The programme presents short-length itineraries in key economic sectors in Barcelona, given in educational centres or by experts in different specialties. There are specialties in sectors such as food and beverages, life and health sciences, commerce, blue economy, sports economy, visitor and restaurant economy, green and circular economy, industry 4.0 and logistics. 

The professional training completes a wide range of activities aimed at promoting job search and professional progress. You can consult all the activities at following link.
