This will also address the shortage of skilled labour and pave the way for the adaptation of SMEs to the future context. Objectives: To promote capacity building and transfer between VET organisations working for women in the construction sector from the basis, success and impact of the Women Can Build project, led by FLC, between Europe and Latin America, and under three clear lines: Improve labour market inclusion of women in the construction sector, improve gender training of training of trainers, and to promote the involvement of other private agents in the sector who participate in the design of the construction process.
