The new edition of the Furniture Assembly with Boards Course has concluded, a training proposal promoted by the Secretariat of Productive Development of the Municipality of Concordia, in coordination with the Forest Industrial Development Center (CeDeFI), aimed at students of the Technical Education School No. 1 “Brig. Gral. Pascual Echagüe”.
The training took place in the carpentry section of the school's workshops and was taught by Prof. Alejandro Olivera, combining theoretical and practical sessions with the goal of having students develop technical skills in design, production, and furniture assembly, with a local and innovative perspective. The materials for the practice, including the boards, were donated by the company EGGER for the benefit of society, highlighting their commitment to the training of young people and the development of the community.
During the course, the students were able to learn closely about the boards produced in Concordia, learn about their manufacturing process, and explore the possibilities of application in different furniture and creative projects.
The students highlighted the experience as “a unique opportunity to learn by doing and to get to know the local industry up close,” while from EGGER, Soledad Sosa and Bettina Ittermann stated: “We are happy to contribute to the training of young people and that the donated materials become furniture that will later be used in the community.”
The Secretary of Productive Development, Eng. Federico Schattenhofer, remarked: “Training young people in trades linked to our local industry not only provides them with concrete tools for their future, but also strengthens the productive framework of Concordia. We want students to know closely the resources that our city generates and be able to transform that knowledge into real development opportunities.”
The furniture assembled during the course will be donated to the pediatric ward of the Delicia Concepción Masvernat Hospital. The training included specialized technical support, complete materials for practice, and official certification upon completion, framed within the axis of strengthening regional value chains and the coordination between the public sector, the private sector, and the community.
The Secretariat of Productive Development reported that they will continue to generate training opportunities for different sectors of the community, consolidating a Concordia that produces, grows, and organizes itself, with young people trained and actively linked to the local industry.
The closing ceremony was attended by Prof. Alejandro Olivera; the head of practical teaching, Prof. Ramón Esquivel; Eng. Mario Flores; Soledad Sosa, HR manager at EGGER; Bettina Ittermann, head of Community Relations at EGGER; and other authorities of the establishment, who presented the certificates of participation to the students.
