Traditional construction works in a Mediterranean setting.

The Amposta City Council is launching a new Skills House focused on traditional construction and sustainable renovation, aiming to improve youth employability.

The Amposta City Council will launch a new Traditional Construction and Sustainable Renovation Skills House. This initiative is part of the 'Treball als Barris' program and the 'Pla de Barris i Viles' from the Generalitat de Catalunya. Its goal is to offer participants training, professional experience, and enhance their access to the job market.
According to Mayor Adam Tomàs, the Skills House is conceived as an opportunity to learn by doing and gain experience in a sector that requires qualified professionals. He particularly highlights the potential for young people, offering various avenues for professional development.
The program will be structured in two main phases. The first will involve theoretical and practical training in traditional construction, renovation, and sustainability criteria. The second phase, lasting six months, will consist of an alternating training contract, combining learning with actual work.
Participants will be able to apply their acquired knowledge in real projects, learning construction techniques and incorporating current efficiency and sustainability criteria for heritage restoration.
The call for applications will open soon. Interested individuals, aged between 16 and 30, can request more information from Lo Sindicat, located at Avinguda de la Ràpita, 43, in Amposta, or via their website and phone.
