Professionals and technicians from the Biobío region may apply until 3:00 p.m. on Friday, November 20, for one of the 50 specialization scholarships in sustainable wood construction assigned to the region.
The course will combine online classes, independent work, and in-person practical activities. The training will last between six and seven months and will address project coordination from its earliest stages, integrated design, and the management of industrialized construction processes.
The program includes 200 scholarships, distributed equally among Maule, Ñuble, Biobío, and La Araucanía. The distribution of the slots will also incorporate gender equity criteria to promote the participation of women in the sector.
Juan Francisco Montes, manager of Territorial Development at Corfo, explained what motivated the opening of the program. "One of the main priorities of this program is to contribute to closing the training and technical experience gaps detected in the sector," he said.
The director of Corfo Biobío, James Argo, linked the training to the Regional Strategic Program for Sustainable Wood Construction, which seeks to strengthen the productive chain of this activity in the area.
"These 200 scholarships represent a concrete step on that path, because it is not enough to promote new technologies and construction methods: we also need professionals and technicians prepared to implement them," he stated.
The curriculum includes 116 chronological hours. According to Corfo, 60% of the time will correspond to real-time online classes and 20% to independent work that participants may complete outside class hours.
The remaining 20% will be allocated to practical field activities, which will be carried out in person in each of the four regions. In the case of Biobío, the statement does not specify in which commune they will be taught.
