The program includes expert and personalized advice, a live connection with Captain Tarteras from the Indian Ocean, or a freestyle battle about life at sea.

Madrid - The Spanish tuna fleet, grouped in the Organization of Associated Producers of Large Freezer Tuna Vessels (OPAGAC), will become the first in the country's fishing sector to present its stable and quality employment offer and its professional development opportunities at AULA 2025, the education and career guidance fair to be held in Madrid from March 26 to 30.

The fleet, one of the most innovative and advanced in the world in the fishing environment, frames its participation in AULA within its empleAtún program, launched in 2023 to publicize the diversity of professional profiles required by tuna fishing. During the fair, the fleet will present to students and professionals an employment, training, and professional development offer little known outside coastal communities, but highly attractive for its broad career opportunities and its socio-labor conditions.

The tuna fleet will participate in AULA 2025 with a comprehensive program of activities, which includes the presentation of empleAtún, talks with human resources experts, a live connection from the Indian Ocean with Captain Tarteras, a tuna vessel chef and influencer, or a freestyle battle about life at sea. In addition, personalized career guidance will be offered to those who wish to join the fleet.

According to Julio Morón, managing director of OPAGAC, "the fishing sector is an employment engine with great professional development opportunities. With our presence at AULA 2025, we want to show young people that the Spanish tuna fleet is an innovative sector with a strong commitment to sustainability and training. It is essential that new generations know the multiple job opportunities we offer and discover that this is a professional field with future, stability, and international projection."

OPAGAC's program of activities at AULA 2025 will begin on March 26 with a presentation of empleAtún, in which its managing director, Julio Morón, will address the importance of attracting talent to the fishing sector, the professional profiles most in demand by the tuna fleet, and the socio-labor conditions that make it a global benchmark.

On March 27, the program will continue with a space titled "Those who work speak," in which Gaizka Etxebarria and Josué Armas from the human resources area of the companies Inpesca and Nauterra, respectively, will explain the required training and how to access employment in the tuna fleet.

In addition, OPAGAC will make a live connection with Daniel Ferreiro, better known as Captain Tarteras, chef on a tuna vessel of the company Albacora currently in the Indian Ocean. With more than 37,000 followers on Instagram, Ferreiro has become a benchmark in the dissemination of the day-to-day life on board a tuna vessel, a topic that will focus his conversation with attendees.

For its part, on March 28, there will be a session dedicated to the professional itinerary in the fishing sector, in which the different ways of accessing employment in the tuna fleet, the training options, and the professional development opportunities will be addressed. This session will culminate with an improvised rap battle titled "Freestyle at Sea" in which the artists Invert, Mounts, and Jesús LC will improvise rhymes around life at sea and the importance of sustainable fishing.

To close OPAGAC's participation in AULA 2025, on March 29, a personalized guidance session will be offered, in which those interested in working in the tuna fleet will be able to receive individualized advice and learn about the routes of access to employment in the fleet.

OPAGAC participates in AULA 2025 through the Blue Education space, an initiative that brings together companies and entities linked to the blue economy with the aim of giving visibility to the professional opportunities offered by the maritime sector and fostering the interest of young people in careers linked to the sea.
