All-round production technology construction employee (bbl)

Working on steel and machine constructions: rolling up your sleeves

As an all-round production technology construction employee, you will be involved in assembling components for steel constructions and machine constructions for the food industry, for example. 

You make something with your hands, but you also have to keep your head in the game.

As a beginner construction worker, you'll first perform routine tasks using various types of machinery, such as laser, plasma, or waterjet cutting machines, press brakes, and profile bending machines. You'll also learn various welding methods. By the end of the training, you'll be working independently and becoming a true professional.

You'll learn a responsible trade. As an all-around construction worker, you'll guide your colleagues and ensure they work as flawlessly and safely as you do. When your supervisor carries out the final inspection, you can be proud of the quality of your work.

You will be taught in the modern environment of Brainport Industries Campus.

The All-round Production Technology Construction Employee program was previously called All-round Construction Worker. Your diploma will be labeled "All-round Production Technology Employee."
