At Iberdrola, we have a solid training model available to the more than 45,400 professionals of almost 95 nationalities who are part of the company. This training offering, accessible to all staff – whether full-time, part-time, or temporary – reflects out commitment to the professional development of all our employees. This firm commitment has resulted in more than 3 million hours of employee training in 2025, which represents an average of 79 hours per employee, according to data from our last Sustainability Report [PDF].

We bet on training

Faith in training is a key part of the Sustainable Human Capital Management and Anti-Harassment Policy at Iberdrola. It is an essential element for:

• Professional growth for job performance.

• Keep Iberdrola's employees updated regarding the last technological and organisational changes.

• Adaptation of new employees to the company.

• Better professional development, which promote their professional growth inside the company.

As part of our commitment to continuous professional development, we offer training programs that cover a wide range of initiatives. These include leadership development, corporate culture training, and specific programs aimed at driving digital transformation across all levels of the organization. We also provide specialized training in key areas for the Group, such as Risk Management and Control Systems. Our goal is to equip our professionals with the knowledge they need to identify and manage the main risks associated with the nature of our activities and the markets in which we operate.

In addition, we promote high-impact programmes such as the Electricians’ School from Neoenergia, which is Iberdrola’s subsidiary in Brazil. The programme provides specialised training for future electricians and, upon successfully completing it, participants have the opportunity to join the Neoenergia team, where they can build a solid career with opportunities for professional growth.

A 70/20/10 model of learning 

At the Iberdrola Group, we want all employees to feel motivated and supported to develop the knowledge, skills, and behaviours that will allow them to adequately perform their current job or a future position. For this reason, in 2016 we created a new Corporate Innovation and Training Campus in Madrid, where nearly 13,000 people are trained each year.

We also look after the dissemination of the company's existing knowledge, continuous learning, and cultural exchange, in order to enhance operational efficiency through the proper use of intellectual capital, as outlined in the Sustainable Human Capital Management and Anti-Harassment Policy.

The Iberdrola Group wants all its employees to feel encouraged and supported so that they can develop their knowledge, skills and behaviours in a way that will enable them to perform their current duties properly or to take on a new professional endeavour in the future. For this reason, in 2016 we created a new Corporate Innovation and Training Campus in Madrid, where around 13,000 people are trained every year.

In line with our commitment to continuous professional development, at Iberdrola we have strengthened our training strategy with cutting-edge digital solutions that enable our employees to learn in a more agile, personalized, and global way.

The implementation of our new learning platform has marked a qualitative leap in how we access knowledge, integrating all training resources into an intuitive and accessible environment.

Thanks to our microlearning approach, we offer more than 18,000 courses in over 20 languages, enabling us to reach all Group professionals—wherever they are—and respond rapidly to evolving environmental and industrial challenges.

This extensive learning ecosystem allows us to deliver targeted training and reskilling programmes that support our workforce through industrial and climate transitions, helping to mitigate their potential impacts. 

We complement this offering with a deep learning platform that connects our employees with content from the world’s most prestigious universities and business schools. With a usage rate above 90%, this tool allows training to be tailored to each stage of a professional career, reinforcing our commitment to talent, innovation, and sustainability.

All of this is aligned with our business and people strategy, enabling us to advance in key areas such as data analytics, customer experience, and leadership—ensuring our teams are prepared to meet the challenges of today and tomorrow.

In this context, we embrace the 70/20/10 learning model, in which 70% of professional development occurs through direct on-the-job experience, 20% through social and collaborative learning, and 10% through formal training. To strengthen this approach, we have launched the C3 Knowledge Communities project, a strategic initiative that structures internal knowledge into networks focused on key areas for the company. These communities promote the exchange of best practices, use cases, and learnings among employees, creating valuable connections between professionals with shared interests and fostering a culture of continuous and shared learning.
