CEV school lays off all 48 staff in Madrid, third ERE in four years

The CEV (Escuela Superior de Formación Audiovisual, Animación 3D y Nuevas Tecnologías) has initiated its third ERE (employment regulation file) in four years, dismissing all 48 employees—both teaching and non-teaching—at its Madrid campus. Affected staff believe the move signals the definitive closure of the Madrid site, while the school states the outcome depends on ongoing negotiations with workers. The Barcelona campus will remain open. CEV, a private education center founded in 1975, offers intermediate and higher degree cycles in audiovisual, 3D animation, and new technologies. One affected teacher, speaking anonymously to elDiario.es, described receiving a dismissal email immediately after submitting grades, leaving employees and students in uncertainty.
