The localized impact of the pandemic seems to have hit Spain harder than in other neighbouring countries, although with a forecast of higher growth in the medium term and with an unprecedented advance in digitization processes, which are approaching almost half of the country’s GDP.
Within the diversity of solutions that public authorities could take, internationally or locally, the current nature of economy and job markets requires individual decision-making that prepares us to adapt, resist, stand out and grow in a globalized environment, with maximum competition for work (and for talent). Choosing well is key. Joining a growing community is too.

They are different scenarios and uncertainty is inevitable, but this time we can anticipate and train ourselves to face the future in the best way. Focusing on what we know that works, indicates how the evolution of companies and jobs will be. That fact already allows us to know what to do”, explains Armelle Jaclot. “The solution is to be digitized. Many of the students we have had this year have expressed their desire to be the engine of change and the need to take care of their present and future work. Certifying knowledge in Salesforce makes both things possible. “
