Institut Salvador Seguí

What Institut Salvador Seguí does

Institut Salvador Seguí is a public integrated vocational training center (Centre Públic – Formació Professional Integrada) located in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain, operating under the Departament d'Educació i Formació Professional of the Generalitat de Catalunya. Founded in 1987, the institute delivers middle-grade (CFGM) and higher-grade (CFGS) vocational qualifications across five professional families — Mechanical Manufacturing, Personal Image, Health, Socio-cultural Services to the Community, and Optical Engineering — through approximately 39 staff across two campuses at C/Santander 7 and C/Pont del Treball Digne 15.

Its core products are formal vocational degree programs (CFGM and CFGS) and continuing-education Certificats de Professionalitat, supplemented by student support services such as library access, information and orientation points (PIO, SIOJ), work-placement coordination (FCT) and dual training (Formació Dual), international mobility (Erasmus+), and a job bank (Borsa de treball). Teaching is delivered via a Moodle-based LMS hosted on educaciodigital.cat, with the proprietary sBID platform coordinating work placements between students and partner companies, and Jobteaser powering the job-matching channel. Course administration runs on standard Catalan educational infrastructure including Google Drive, Gmail, and the institutional Àgora portal.

The institute's revenue model is non-commercial: programs are publicly funded and free to students, with operating budgets drawn from the Generalitat de Catalunya and Spanish Ministry of Education, supplemented by EU grants (NextGenerationEU, European Social Fund) and SOC subsidies for professional certificates. The go-to-market motion is event-driven and community-led, relying on open-door days, school counselor referrals, and the centralized Catalan pre-enrollment portal (Preinscripció) rather than commercial acquisition. Customer segments are horizontal — segmented by vocational track rather than buyer type — with five roughly parallel student cohorts (Optics, Personal Image, Health, Socio-cultural Services, Mechanical Manufacturing).

Revenue model

1. Publicly Funded Vocational Training: The institute operates as a public educational center funded by the Generalitat de Catalunya (Catalan Government) and the Spanish Ministry of Education. Revenue derives from public education budgets rather than direct student tuition, as vocational training in public institutions in Catalonia is free for students. Additional funding comes from European NextGenerationEU and European Social Fund grants for specific programs.
2. Professional Certificates and Training Services: The institute offers subsidized professional certificates (Certificats de Professionalitat) and continuing education programs that may have associated costs. Some specialized training programs for employed workers and job seekers are funded through the SOC (Servei d'Ocupació de Catalunya).
