CIPFP Ausiàs March, Public vocational training center in Fonteta de Sant Lluís, Spain.
The CIPFP Ausiàs March is a modern school building in Fonteta de Sant Lluís with specialized classrooms and workshop spaces for technical and professional training. The facility houses several departments dedicated to hands-on and classroom learning in different fields.
The building was constructed between 1994 and 1998 to a design by the architecture firm Vetges Tu i Mediterrània, which won the competition in 1993 with a project known for its slanted roof. The centre was created in June 1998 as Instituto de Educación Secundaria Ausiàs March, formed from the split of IES San Vicente Ferrer and the secondary section of IES Vicente Blasco Ibáñez, with 870 students and 18 vocational cycles. In August 2008 it was renamed CIPFP Ausiàs March.
The school offers courses aligned with what local industries actually need, from technology and commerce to healthcare and administration. Students learn skills that match the job market they will enter after graduation.
The building stands in the Fonteta de Sant Lluís neighbourhood, in the Quatre Carreres district, between the Ausiàs March and Antonio Ferrandis boulevards. The main entrance is at the north-east corner of the plot, where the historic Carrera de Sant Lluís meets Ángel Villena street. The interior is organised around a courtyard with porches linking a two-storey building and a three-storey classroom block.
The school partners with regional companies to offer students actual work experience and real-world training during their studies. This direct link with employers means students work on actual projects and challenges they will face in their careers.
