When we imagine employment in a «Tech Hub,» we usually visualize programmers in front of screens. However, the reality of the tech boom in Aragon is much more physical and industrial. There is a massive, «hidden demand» for technical professionals who are essential to build and power the cloud.

The construction and commissioning of data centers will raise labor demand in this phase by 30%. This is in addition to a structural need for generational replacement in the industrial sector, where 5,000 workers were already needed.

The «Star» profiles of vocational training.

The most urgent need right now is not for software engineers, but for skilled trades linked to civil works and industrial infrastructure. We are witnessing the absolute revaluation of technological Vocational Training (FP).

These are the profiles the market is fighting for:

• Electricians (medium and high voltage): this is possibly the most critical profile. Experts are sought who are capable of installing power panels, heavy-gauge cabling, and connecting the systems that power the servers.
• HVAC technicians: a data center is, in essence, a large cooling plant. Specialists are required for the installation of chillers and industrial precision cooling.
• Automation experts: professionals who know how to install and maintain BMS (Building Management Systems), the brain that controls the building’s temperature and security.

Dual training in the heart of the industry.

To bridge this gap and ensure quality jobs, the DAT Alierta ecosystem is taking the initiative. Siemens, a world leader in these infrastructures, has announced its plan to locate a vocational training center within the district itself.

The goal is to create a pipeline of technicians specialized in automation and smart infrastructures. This means training directly with the technology used by the world’s leading companies.

Your professional future:

if you have a technical vocation, Aragon is your place. Technology doesn’t work without the energy, cooling, and maintenance that you manage. Industrial Vocational Training is today the key to accessing the sector with the best projection of the decade.
