The Fundación Laboral de la Construcción launched Orienta-tik, a new digital platform designed to promote career opportunities in the construction sector in Bizkaia. Funded by the Diputación Foral de Bizkaia, the tool centralises essential information on training, in-demand trades, and working conditions, making it easier for individuals to explore a sector with strong employment prospects. The platform is divided into two main sections: one offering an overview of the sector and another with practical guidance on employment. By providing clear and accessible information, Orienta-tik aims to attract new workers and support professional growth in a field that continues to expand.
To ensure the sector’s future, Orienta-tik also addresses challenges such as skills development and generational renewal. Many young people do not consider construction as a career option, despite its promising opportunities. The industry is evolving with the integration of digital and green technologies, requiring specialised training in areas like BIM and AI. The platform highlights various training pathways, from short courses to advanced qualifications. It also aims to attract women and younger workers, underrepresented groups in construction. A dedicated section, Mujeres en Construcción, promotes opportunities for women in the sector. Accessible in four languages (Basque, Spanish, French, and English), Orienta-tik serves as a key resource to improve employability and connect individuals with careers in a transforming industry.
