Factor reinforces its commitment to training and young talent

Students from IES Molí del Sol and Colegio Nuestra Señora de Monte-Sión visit the facilities to learn about the workings of an industrial company and its professional opportunities

Factor recently welcomed students from various educational centres with the aim of bringing the industrial reality closer to students at different stages of their education and awakening technical vocations from an early age. This initiative reinforces the commitment to training young talent.

Specifically, the visit took place with vocational training students in Mechanical Manufacturing from IES Molí del Sol, as well as 1st and 2nd year Baccalaureate students from Colegio Nuestra Señora de Monte-Sión as part of the Dualiza Vocations Project, promoted by CaixaBank and channelled by FEMEVAL. In both cases, the visits were carried out with small groups of around 15 students for safety reasons, allowing direct contact with the different processes and areas of the company.

A comprehensive tour of the industrial reality

The visits were coordinated by the Human Resources department and followed a common structure designed to give students an overview of how an industrial company operates. In the first phase, Ana María Sánchez, Director of Human Resources, presented the company and its working model.

This was followed by a guided tour of the different departments - Innovation, Sales, Engineering, Production and Quality. The students were accompanied by engineers Alejandro Ibáñez and Francisco Rodríguez. 

During the tour, special emphasis was placed on the different training pathways—vocational training and university—that lead to key profiles within the industry, as well as on the value of continuous training and the professional opportunities offered by the sector.

The visit ended with a brief evaluation survey, accessible via QR code, which provided first-hand insight into how the students had found the experience.

Inspiring vocations and supporting talent development

The main objective of these actions is to spark the interest of young people who are still defining their academic and professional future, directly showing them the diversity of profiles that coexist within the same industrial company and the real development opportunities offered by the metal sector, as well as the possibility of undertaking training internships.

‘We firmly believe in the value of these direct contacts with industry. Seeing the processes in operation, meeting the teams and understanding how a company is organised helps students make more informed decisions about their future,’ says Ana María Sánchez, who emphasises that these visits are part of an ongoing commitment to training and attracting talent in the medium and long term.

People at the heart of the Factor project

Beyond raising awareness of production processes, the visits allow students to experience Factor's corporate culture, which is based on caring for people as the cornerstone of business growth. The physical and emotional well-being of the team is part of this vision, with initiatives aimed at promoting health, participation and motivation.

‘Caring for people is much more than offering good working conditions: it means accompanying them, listening to them and creating spaces where they can grow, develop and feel part of a common project. Well-being cannot be improvised; it is built every day with small actions, empathy and commitment,’ says Ana María Sánchez.

These types of initiatives help to strengthen the connection between business and education, promoting training and bringing real opportunities closer to the younger generations.
