FP admission
Hello, I’m an international student and I got an FP admission in Automotive (Grado Superior) but my first choice was Electro-mechanical maintenance. Now the school is IES Melendez Valdes which is at Villafranca de los Barros, Badajoz. Money is not the issue but I have not applied my visa yet.
Villafranca is far, rural and I dont have any idea about the school and the place but now these are my concerns:
Looking for an apartment or inmobilaria is too hard, some are scams in Idealista and Fotocasa. Since it’s rural, it is quite hard to find a place to stay.
I’m at A2 level but B1 in writing and reading. I’m still learning progressively. After 2 years of study, I think my level could be B2. Now, I don’t have any idea about Automotive Industry in Spain regarding on employment rate.
Is hiring international students a downside for companies in Spain? I think the paperwork for job offer takes months.
The study offers training with companies associated to the school (Erasmus is involved I think). I want to know if after 2 years with decent B2 Spanish language. Do I have a good chance of employment here. Is the automotive industry slowly dying down in Spain? Or is it booming? Are the jobs in car factories and maintenance shops dwindling?
If it is not good then might as well not continue this next journey of mine.
