150 students will be trained each year at the BIM Training Center

• Conconcreto launches the BIM Training Center, a face-to-face training ecosystem that aims to train and certify students in skills to solve challenges in the construction sector. through digitalization.
• The initiative is carried out in partnership with el SENA. The call covers students in technology, technical, and high school graduates with technical-vocational secondary education from various public institutions that provide training in topics related to the construction industry.  
• The Training Center is a learning space that cuewith Autodesk BIM modeling tools, which allows a process of training suitable for students.

Bogotá, May of 2022. Thinking about strengthening the capabilities of young people who can be the future of construction in Colombia, Conconcreto inaugurated the BIM Training Center, a learning space in partnership with SENA, which seeks to develop participants in technical modeling and drawing skills within the framework of the BIM methodology (building information modeling).

With the agreement, SENA will be the entity that accredits training and implement all of their teaching experience to develop more comprehensive professional profiles. Likewise, the training center's training plans are currently being certified with Autodesk to achieve dual certification.

La call es for the students that they are part of schools that have alliances with the entity, specifically, institutions with a focus on vocational technique in construction, modeling oribujo y students of construction technology.

The training plan was developed for generate employability in young peopleAlso It emphasizes the strengthening of soft skills that allow for the ideal development of students, both academically and in future workspaces and entrepreneurships.

Basically, is an ecosystem face-to-face study in an equipped laboratory with hAutodesk's cutting-edge technological tools, which allows for a student-friendly process. This is an information modeling methodology, that facilitates the creation and modification of collaborative projects, increasing the quality in all the Phases of a building project and the modeling of the differents inputs before moving to the construction phase.

Those wishing to participate in the initiative must meet the following requirements: Basic computer skills and a high school diploma with a vocational degree in construction, modeling, or drawing from the Construction Technician program. It's worth noting that this training process is free. If you meet the requirements, you can check the start date with the academic coordinators. of the different institutions or directly at the Conconcreto BIM training center.

With the iIntegration of learning in a real and work space, added toI develop skills of being and soft as el lockcollaborative game, social empathy and emotional intelligence, among other things, it is desired to prepare the participants for their iIncorporation into working life, becoming a academic exercise without grades, but where students assume the challenge of each person preparing their knowledge portfolio that allows you to be more competitive in the industry.

“We want to transfer all la experience that the company has in the digitalization of projects based on the BIM methodology and, from practice, share it with young people who are training," said Juan Carlos Velásquez, BIM trainer, teacher in this process who also added that "from technical knowledge the students They reach the capacity to generate BIM models with good practices, appropriately documenting a project and generating 3D diagrams.”
