The average gross salary of these professionals stands at 52,711 euros per year
According to Accenture, Spain is behind in digitization due to lack of talent
The average salary of telecommunications engineers is 52,711 gross euros per year, almost double the national average, according to the present and future report of the telecommunications engineer , prepared jointly by the Official College of Telecommunications Engineers (COIT), the Spanish Association of Telecommunications Engineers and the consultancy IDC. In addition, unemployment among these professionals is almost testimonial, and they are increasingly claimed. But, despite everything, telecommunications engineers are lacking.
"The unemployment rate is 3%, practically structural," recalled, during the presentation of the aforementioned study a few days ago in Madrid, the representative of the COIT María Nuño, who also indicated that the enterprise is growing among telecommunications engineers, since most startups are linked to the technological world. As if that were not enough, only 0.2% of these professionals are unemployed or looking for their first job , while the average gross salary of scholarship holders who study this career is 12,000 euros, as recalled by Nuño, who also recalled that there are still unpaid internships.
This shortage explains why Spain is at the tail end of digitization, as defended by the engineer Amalia Fontán, alluding to an Accenture report, something that "does not allow us to grow". In this sense, the Director General for Research and Innovation of the Community of Madrid, Alejandro Arranz, declared that, while "Spain is a leading country in research, in innovation there is still much to do". The manager stressed that the former should drive the latter and proposed engineering as one of its drivers. For the president of the State Council of Telecommunication Students, Mónica Ortega, the scarcity of this profile is due to the fact that "marketing fails us, we should sell ourselves better."
