Vocational Education and Training

What Vocational Education and Training does

Vocational Education and Training, S.L. is a privately held Spanish company (S.L.) founded in 2013 and headquartered in Sevilla, Spain (postal code 41011). The firm operates in the vocational education and training (VET) sector with a specialization in international mobility programs, primarily between Spain and German-speaking countries, and serves as a coordinator of Erasmus+ KA1 and KA2 mobility initiatives. Core offerings include German-language training, dual VET consulting, and licensed employment placement services (operating under Agencia de Colocación authorization #0100000174). The firm operates a consumer-facing sub-brand, Vamos Europa, and has trained over 850 young people in German to date. Institutional counterparties include Escuela de Idiomas Carlos V and IES Hermanos Machado in Spain, universities in Seville and Naples, and unnamed German host entities, supporting both candidate pipeline generation and host-country placement capacity.

The company's product surface comprises the Vamos Europa branded mobility program suite and a Quality DualVET Evaluation Guide paired with a Digital Tool for assessing dual vocational training programs. Revenue is generated through a mix of EU program grants (Erasmus+ KA1/KA2), placement agency fees, language training tuition, and consulting engagements with VET institutions. The business model is project-based and bilateral: the firm intermediates between Spanish VET centers and candidates on one side and German employers/training providers on the other, capturing value from program coordination, candidate preparation, and placement. Geographic footprint remains predominantly Spain-Germany with an emerging Italy corridor via the Naples university partnerships; no disclosed headcount growth, M&A, or external funding rounds are present in the available data.

The competitive position rests on regulatory credentials (employment placement license), institutional relationships with VET schools and universities, and accumulated reputation under the Vamos Europa brand. Customer mix is bifurcated between long-tail individual candidates and a small set of institutional partners and EU funding bodies, creating episodic concentration around grant cycles. The firm shows no AI/ML capability, no patents, and limited disclosed technology beyond the DualVET digital evaluation tool, positioning it as a relationship- and credential-driven services business rather than a technology platform.

• Randstad: Global HR services firm with staffing, training, and mobility offerings across Europe. Comparable on employment placement and training/development services for both individuals and corporate clients.
• ManpowerGroup: Global workforce solutions company with a large footprint in Spain and Germany. Comparable as an international staffing, reskilling, and candidate mobility provider operating in the same employer segments.
• InfoJobs: Spain's largest online job marketplace, owned by Adevinta. Comparable as a regulated Spanish employment services platform with similar B2C placement and employer intermediation functions, though at significantly larger scale and broader scope.
• Cegos: Global training and consulting group with European operations. Comparable on the corporate training design, vocational/continuous learning, and cross-border program delivery dimensions.
• Gi Group: Italian-headquartered global HR services company with strong presence in Spain, Germany, and Italy. Comparable because it operates across all three of the company's core geographies and offers staffing plus training solutions.

Others
