The offer of Higher Level Vocational Training of Alto Deba will have a novelty from September 2026. Mondragon Goi Eskola Politeknikoa will launch the Advanced Technician of Renewable Energies.

With the aim of responding to this growing sector, 25 places will be offered in this programme, which will be offered in Basque. The two-year curriculum includes practical projects aligned with the real challenges and needs of companies, visits to companies, internships and participation in dual training, etc. It will also offer the possibility of doing an internship in a foreign company thanks to the HETEL and Erasmus + program.

In the words of Xabier Lizaur, engineering and facilities engineer at EKITERMIK, "renewable energies have acquired great prominence in recent years, it is a growing sector, in which we have a great need for qualified personnel". EKITERMIK is in charge of the design, installation and maintenance of photovoltaic panel projects and the engineer points out that "This sector lacks its own qualified personnel and it is very common to see workers from other provinces working in the Basque Country."

Gorka Aretxaga, Vocational Training Coordinator at Mondragon Goi Eskola Politeknikoa, says the following: "We have been seeing a boom in this sector for years and we have taken the step, we are convinced that we are offering a new opportunity to young people in the valley to turn to a sector of high employability".

Academic program and state-of-the-art facilities

The biannual curriculum guarantees knowledge about power plant electrical systems, configuration and assembly of photovoltaic plants, assembly and maintenance of wind farms, prevention of electrical risks, remote control and automation, among others.
Given that the Faculty of Engineering of Mondragon offers studies in other specialities aligned with the subject, students will be able to use state-of-the-art laboratories and facilities such as the electronics laboratory, the automation laboratory, the robotics laboratory, the electrical machinery laboratory or the electrical installations laboratory.
