Andalucía’s Digital Agency launched Aprende Volando with €21 million in funding, targeting at least 130,000 people through June 2026 in foundational digital competency training. The programme is publicly funded and designed to be accessible across age groups and occupational backgrounds.

Who it affects: General population of Andalucía; unemployed individuals, workers seeking reskilling, and citizens with low digital literacy.

What is notably missing: Training is voluntary and not tied to employment obligations on employers. No AI-specific literacy component is documented beyond general digital skills. Enforcement of participation or minimum standards is absent.
