A group of pupils from a Spanish school have visited the head office of GMV as part of the European eSkills Week 2012 held from 26 to 30 March. The main goal of this initiative is to stimulate technological careers among European youngsters.

This European Commission initiative is being organized by DIGITALEUROPE and European Schoolnet (EUN); liaison in Spain has been taken on by AMETIC (Association of Companies from the ICT, Communications and Digital Content Sector), through its fundación FTI (Information Technology Foundation, in Spanish initials). The initiative’s aim is to involve all eICT stakeholders in a concerted effort to boost the use of information technologies and encourage secure internet use. This campaign also showcases creativity, entrepreneurship and leadership as strategic values of the new information and knowledge society.

The European eSkills Week 2012 complements another series of activities that try to close the gap between the education system and the job market and also improve European youngsters’ job-finding prospects. This initiative’s goals chime in neatly with GMV’s ongoing drive to encourage technology careers among youngsters, systematically supporting all activities that work towards this end.
