Earlier today, Enagás officially opened its Corporate University, representing a major step forward in the company's commitment to talent and training with a view to developing new skills to lead the energy transition. The company's Chief Executive Officer, Arturo Gonzalo, inaugurated the Enagás Corporate University (Spanish acronym: UCE) at its headquarters in Madrid.
“The UCE will help Enagás develop its professionals’ talent, transmit a culture aligned with the organisation's strategy, foster leadership and manage the company's knowledge,” the Chief Executive Officer explained in his speech.
The Enagás Corporate University will support a people-centred culture of lifelong learning. Enagás strives to create an environment for professional growth that fosters the knowledge and skills necessary to meet the company's challenges of the future, including the development of knowledge aligned with the sector and the management of the hydrogen network in Spain.

“We are referring to all the know-how acquired in gas infrastructure management and the new areas that are opening up with decarbonisation (hydrogen, CO2, LNG and BioLNG bunkering, renewable hydrogen for mobility and renewable ammonia),” said Arturo Gonzalo.
The Corporate University will work alongside the Enagás Hydrogen Technology Observatory, that the company launched last year, which now has almost 50 leading partners in the hydrogen value chain, to manage hydrogen-related knowledge.
Furthermore, the UCE is divided into three institutes based on knowledge areas, including a Corporate Institute, a Technical Institute and a Leadership Institute. The University also has several facilities. Besides its main headquarters in Madrid, there is a technical training centre in San Fernando (Madrid) and another one focused on R&D in Zaragoza.
Benchmark training centre
The Enagás Corporate University strives to foster experiential learning and Artificial Intelligence, as well as upskilling and reskilling its professionals. The UCE builds on the work of the Enagás Training School, which opened 16 years ago, becoming a training benchmark, with 75,000 hours of training delivered per year, access to more than 25,000 courses and agreements with leading international educational institutions and business schools. Enagás sets a benchmark in training and has been recognised as such by the Learning and Performance Institute (LPI), which accredits the excellence of the learning strategy of its professionals.
