Glass and ceramics sector: 3 months to integrate National Reference Centre into vocational training

Royal Decree 491/2026 establishes the National Reference Centre for Industrial Glass at the Royal Glass Factory of La Granja de San Ildefonso, in accordance with Articles 78 and 102.3 of Organic Law 3/2022. This centre will be pivotal for vocational training in the Industrial Glass field, within the Glass and Ceramics professional family. The regulation mandates its integration into the vocational training system, although it does not specify deadlines or direct obligations for companies, focusing solely on its incorporation into the training framework.

In 2 key points

  1. The National Reference Centre for Industrial Glass is established in La Granja de San Ildefonso (art. 78 y 102.3 LO 3/2022)
  2. The centre is integrated into the Glass and Ceramics vocational training framework (art. 5.4 R.D. 229/2008)

How it affects those involved

For companies in the glass and ceramics sector, particularly in Segovia, this creates a new vocational training opportunity through access to a national reference centre. Training centres must adapt their programmes to include this new infrastructure. Training consultants will need to update their proposals and resources to incorporate the new centre. There are no direct labour-related adaptation obligations, only within the scope of vocational training.
