Since its establishment in 1992, the Fundación Laboral de la Construcción (FLC) has worked towards a clear objective: to provide companies and workers with the resources needed to build a more professional, safe, skilled and future-ready sector. Established through the collaboration between the Confederación Nacional de la Construcción (CNC), Comisiones Obreras del Hábitat (CCOO del Hábitat) and the Federación de Industria, Construcción y Agroalimentario de la Unión General de Trabajadoras y Trabajadores (UGT-FICA), the FLC is a non-profit joint entity.
Over more than three decades, it has established itself as a leading organisation, thanks to the trust of thousands of professionals and its continuous efforts to adapt to the evolving demands of the labour market. Today, the construction sector faces major challenges linked to sustainability, digitalisation and the energy transition, and this joint entity plays a key role in driving that transformation.
The FLC promotes innovation, sustainability, equality and inclusion within the construction sector, leading its transformation in the areas of health and safety, training and employment. Every year, tens of thousands of workers receive training at the Fundación Laboral de la Construcción, across more than 50 dedicated training centres throughout Spain. Its training offer includes a wide range of courses delivered by over 1,400 trainers, supported by a comprehensive catalogue of specialised and regularly updated learning materials, designed to meet the sector’s real needs.
Furthermore, it promotes employability and professionalisation through career guidance and job placement services. Through its Regional Councils and accredited centres, it supports over 12,000 people each year.
Within the framework of the Repower Regions project, Fundación Laboral de la Construcción brings significant added value based on its extensive experience in training at both national and international levels. With more than 20 years of experience leading and participating in European projects, it contributes practical knowledge and implementation expertise to the development of key skills needed to drive the sector’s energy transition.
Among its contributions, its experience in initiatives such as Construye 2020+ stands out. This project focuses on promoting green jobs in construction through training and accreditation in energy efficiency, renewable energy and nearly zero-energy buildings. This experience enables FLC to make a strong contribution to the design of training content aligned with the sector’s real needs.
It also ensures that these resources are not only developed but effectively implemented in practice, guaranteeing their tangible impact on the sector. Fundación Laboral de la Construcción firmly believes that training is the driving force behind change, and that only through a skilled workforce will it be possible to achieve the objectives of the energy transition.
Another key contribution is the creation of a Regional Alliance in Spain, which fosters collaboration between key stakeholders at national level and strengthens the project’s impact.
Ultimately, participation in Repower Regions enables Fundación Laboral de la Construcción not only to contribute its experience and expertise, but also to continue advancing its mission of fostering a more sustainable and competitive sector, fully prepared to meet future challenges.
