History edit
The Nevares Institute of Agricultural Employers (INEA) was founded in 1964 in Valladolid by Jose Fernandez Quintanilla, as a response to the absence of people with entrepreneurial training in the farming community. The institute was named after the Sisinio Nevares who founded Catholic Trade Unions in the 1930s.[citation needed]
In 1965 the Institute received Ministerial recognition and was attached to the School of Agronomists of Madrid, for its three-year undergraduate course.[citation needed] The course was called Intermediate Level in Agricultural Engineering in Management of Agricultural Companies until 1981 when the INEA became affiliated with the University of Valladolid. In these first 16 years it had educated 1,960 students. From the start in 1965 INEA offered distance learning classes, accommodating 2,675 students by 1992. From 1977 until 1990 the school also graduated 240 students in vocational training ("First Grade Agrario") in agriculture.[citation needed]
