UNIR, Qualentum and Vass University join forces to launch new degrees in AI and mobile app development

This synergy marks a milestone in the collaboration between educational institutions and companies to address the growing demand for professionals in the technology sector. 

Madrid, 19 March 2024.  

The International University of La Rioja (UNIR) together with the Proeduca Group company Qualentum and VASS University are launching two new degrees focused on the development of mobile applications and artificial intelligence.  

This initiative comes at a crucial time for the talent shortage in the technology sector. According to research conducted by Manpower at the end of 2023, 79% of IT companies expect to struggle to fill technology-related vacancies in 2024, a significant increase from previous years. 

In this context, a tripartite agreement has been signed to address new qualified professional profiles. These degrees mark a milestone in the collaboration between educational institutions and companies to address the growing demand for professionals in the technology sector and represent a unique opportunity for those seeking to advance their careers in a constantly evolving field. 

VASS University brings the business experience of its parent company, the leading Spanish digital solutions company VASS. It is responsible for the creation of the training itineraries and the development of educational material for these programmes. In addition, it actively participates in the selection of candidates and teachers, as well as in the delivery of the programmes. 

For its part, UNIR provides a high quality online educational environment, where it supports instructors and will award the corresponding degrees or certifications to students who successfully complete the programmes.  

Finally, Qualentum, the PROEDUCA Group company dedicated to the identification, specialisation and recruitment of talent for large technology companies, is responsible for the dissemination, advertising and selection of students for the employment programmes, as well as all the logistics, guaranteeing specialised training, aligned with the real needs of the labour market.
