The construction sector in Brazil is experiencing a moment of transformation. The lack of qualified professionals, combined with the high demand for new projects, puts pressure on both employers and workers.
According to recent data, the search for solutions, such as training courses and partnerships between the public and private sectors, is becoming increasingly common, and events such as the Balneário Camboriú community effort are a key part of dealing with these challenges.
Finally, with 140 vacancies open and the offer of courses that qualify new professionals, the campaign is an opportunity not only for those seeking employment, but also for the sector as a whole, which needs to find solutions to fill the labor shortage and continue building the future.
