The Efficient Habitat Cluster (AEICE) has brought together about 20 experts today in Valladolid to analyze the situation of industrialization throughout the construction value chain and related activities as a key element to attract talent, with the aim of promoting actions coordinated and collaborative to explain the reality of the sector in Castilla y León and attract young professionals.
Low the title ‘Industrialization, the key to attracting talent in the habitat sector’, Three experts have put on the table the current situation of industrialization in companies throughout the value chain of Castilla y León. This is Juan Carlos Bandrés, CEO of Grupo Lobe; Juan Carlos Cabrera, director of the industrialized construction course at the Technological Hub; and Iñigo Porres, manager of Icons.
In his opinion, the most important thing is advance the industrialization of all value chain processes: “We should not focus only on the use of industrialized components, but we must start from the industrialization of the sector as a whole, which intimately affects all its processes.”
In this way, incorporating new technologies and extending digitalization to all activity, the habitat sector will be efficient and attractive from a talent point of view.
The conference was held at the headquarters of the CEOE Castilla y León in Valladolid and was attended by the general director of Economic Policy and Competitiveness, Rosa Cuesta, who explained the talent plan launched by the Regional government, a pioneer in Spain, as one of the ways to improve the attraction of talent, also in the habitat sector. And David Esteban, corporate director of Ceoe-CyL, welcomed the participants.
For their part, four of the companies that act as a ‘lighthouse’ in this strategy (Somacyl, Ascensores Zener, Grupo Hergonsa and Sane-Riego) have reported on the activity that is being developed in the different branches of the sector. And the technical director of Inexo, Javier García Moreno, has intervened as a representative of an ‘ambassador’ company of the cluster in this initiative. In addition, representatives of the educational sector have reported on the programs they are developing in the field of vocational training.
A modern and attractive sector
The ‘Talent Habitat’ project, which has the support of the General Directorate of Economic Policy and Competitiveness of the Ministry of Economy and Finance, has already recently brought together another group of experts and representatives of the sector in León and will be presented in different cities of the Community throughout this month of November.
To deploy the ‘Talent Habitat’ strategy throughout the Community, AEICE has selected 25 ‘lighthouse’ companies of Castilla y León and five ambassadors, who participate in these strategic meetings to jointly lead this process of explaining what the reality of the habitat sector is in the Community.
“We want to make visible the reality of the sector, through its actors, showing their exemplary performance, so that they serve as reference to young students and prove the power of a modern, technological sector committed to the environment”, explained the director of AEICE, Enrique Cobreros.
The habitat sector, which is strategic for the Community’s economy, brings together activities ranging from endogenous resources (wood and stone), to the processing industry (wood, stone, glass, cement and ceramics), auxiliary services, construction and infrastructure (building and rehabilitation) and the revaluation and management of waste.
