Moeve has launched a pilot internship program in dual modality with the inclusion of students from the Master's in Petrochemistry and Hydrogen Technologies of the Algeciras School of Engineering (ETSIA), belonging to the University of Cádiz (UCA), in its Energy Park in San Roque. The initiative connects the academic field with the industrial activity of the energy company in the Campo de Gibraltar, at a time of growing demand for qualified profiles linked to the energy transition and decarbonization.
Students will undergo a training period of approximately three months in the Optimization and Programming area of the San Roque complex. During this time, they will work in real environments, participating in processes related to improving operational efficiency and decision-making in the facilities, as well as in initiatives related to the Positive Motion strategy and the energy transition process that the company is undergoing.
Pablo Castillo, head of Optimization and Programming at Moeve's Energy Park, stated that "for us, it is a pleasure to collaborate with this master's program that brings students closer to the real challenges of the energy industry." Castillo noted that "collaboration with the School of Engineering allows us to share our experience with a generation of young people who come with a solid technical background and a great motivation to contribute to the energy transition." The area manager added that, during their stay, students "will be able to apply their knowledge in a complex industrial environment and develop competencies that will be key to their professional future."
According to Castillo, "the value of this training model lies in combining academic learning and direct practice" and favors "the training of the talent that will lead the energy of tomorrow."
The initiative occurs in a context of transformation in the energy sector, where the transition towards more sustainable models, the development of hydrogen as an energy vector, and the digitalization of processes are generating a growing demand for highly qualified profiles. In this scenario, the Master's in Petrochemistry and Hydrogen Technologies at ETSIA presents itself as training with high employability and professional projection, especially in a region like the Campo de Gibraltar, which concentrates a significant portion of the industrial and energy activity of Andalusia.
The dual format of the program allows students to complement their academic training with practical experience, facilitating the application of technical knowledge in real situations and the development of professional competencies in strategic areas. It also provides them with the opportunity to firsthand understand the operation of complex industrial facilities and the challenges associated with resource optimization and sustainability.
The Energy Park of San Roque is one of Moeve's main facilities in Spain and constitutes a reference center for refining activity and the progressive integration of processes linked to the energy transition in the region. Collaboration with the University of Cádiz is added to other actions of the company aimed at training and attracting talent in the Campo de Gibraltar area, a zone where the presence of petrochemical and logistics industry generates job opportunities for specialized professionals.
