History
editOn the occasion of the institute's 75th anniversary in 2015, the Minister of Education of Castile and León praised the contribution that the Institute has made to education in the region,[2] which experienced a job-surge after its opening.[3] The institute has ties with over 300 companies. Over 90% of students who did a practicum with Renault were hired by the company.[4] An open house at the school was attended by the Minister of Economy, the General Director of Labor, and the General Director of Vocational Training as well as by employers' organizations of Concerted Teaching and the secretary of The Federation of Education and Management.[5]
