Miguelturra has launched the Masonry+ Workshops, a training program with an investment of 150,000 euros. The initiative aims to train young people in construction trades to improve their access to the job market. Participants will acquire practical skills in a sector with constant demand for qualified labor.
Practical training in modern construction techniques 🛠️
The workshop includes modules on handling power tools, floor leveling, applying coatings, and reading blueprints. Energy efficiency and occupational safety methods are prioritized, aligned with current regulations. Students will work on real projects supervised by professionals, combining theory with on-site practice. This methodology aims to reduce the gap between formal education and the demands of the sector.
From brick to resume: a master's in cement 🧱
Finally, the young people of Miguelturra can tell their families they are studying a master's degree, even if it is in laying bricks under the August sun. Of course, 150,000 euros cover many trowel loads and perhaps a bucket of paint or two. The only risk is that by the end of the course, students will master the level so well that they will want to claim the title of honorary technical architects.
