The ZIV company and the Somorrostro have reached a collaboration agreement to enhance the good relationship between the two entities and strengthen the educational and working careers of Vocational Training students. To this end, ZIV has loaned a latest generation “Smart Metering” system to train students in the latest communications technologies in the energy sector within the field of telecommunications. With this material, the first advanced Smart Metering laboratory will be created in Somorrostro to train students and expand their job opportunities.

This collaboration shows the interest and concern of ZIV and the Somorrostro for the students and their families, both personally and professionally. With this agreement, the professional development of the students of different specialities such as Telecommunication and Computer Systems (ST3), Electrotechnical and Automated Systems (SEA3) and Renewable Energies (ER3) will be favoured.

We hope that this will be a long and fruitful collaboration.
