In Spain, there is a high demand for digital and tech professionals, in particular, IT profiles. In fact, the Information and communication technologies (ICT) sector in Madrid are the ones that generate the most job offers, 38.3% of the total. In addition, the wage for this type of employment is 18% higher than the average salary offered in Spain, according to an Adecco report. But despite this positive trend, there is a significant lack of skills in the needed candidates to fulfil these positions.  But Talent Garden announced the official launch of its first Spanish Masters after the arrival of the Innovation School in the newly open Talent Garden Madrid campus. Talent Garden Innovation School Madrid has set out on a mission to support the people who make the development of technology in Spain possible.

The Talent Garden Innovation School is now the largest platform for networking and training for digital innovation skills in Europe and is now present in Italy, Denmark, Austria, Ireland and now also Spain. In Madrid, the school will offer a series of training opportunities to those young people who want to specialize in Data Science, UX Design and Coding.  "The Talent Garden Innovation School arrives in Madrid to answer the need for ICT professionals that traditional universities are not forming. Using disruptive methodologies focused on experience, and expert faculty these courses will answer the needs of the current labour market. Training young people to develop the skills required in these specific environments that are in constant change" explains Hugo Bourgade, director of the Talent Garden Innovation School Spain.
