The Guatemalan construction sector is developing well and the demand for skilled workers is increasing. In addition, the demand for qualified skilled workers is becoming more demanding in the process, as construction companies are becoming more complex and the need for health and safety at work is increasing. The project is responding to this growing demand with its expanded range of training modules, involving construction companies in the design of the course content. In return, the companies provide internships for the trainees. In addition, decision-makers from business and politics are sensitised to the importance of cooperative vocational education and training. The BBP is funded by the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development.
