This week, a new edition of the Furniture Assembly with Panels Course began, 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 Technical Education School No. 1 “Brig. Gral. Pascual Echagüe”.
The training takes place in the carpentry section of the school's workshops and is taught by Prof. Alejandro Olivera. The activity combines theoretical and practical sessions until August 25, with the goal of having students develop technical skills in design, production, and furniture assembly, with a local and innovative perspective.
During the opening day, students were able to learn about the panels produced in Concordia, learn about their manufacturing process, and explore the possibilities of application in different furniture and creative projects.
The event was attended by the president of CeDeFI, M. Eng. Elisa de Las Heras, the Rector of the institution, Prof. José Canet, the head of practical teaching, Prof. Ramón Esquivel, and Eng. Mario Flores, who accompanied the students at the start of the course.
The Secretary of Productive Development, Eng. Federico Schattenhofer, highlighted: “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 firsthand the resources that our city generates and be able to transform that knowledge into real development opportunities.”
“These types of actions reflect the model of city we seek: productive, with genuine employment, and with practical education that connects our young people with the local economy. We hope these experiences inspire them to continue learning and to value the possibilities offered by our territory,” stated Schattenhofer.
The course includes specialized technical support, complete materials for practice, and official certification upon completion. It is framed within the axis of strengthening regional value chains and the coordination between the public sector, private sector, and the community, promoting innovation, training, and job creation.
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.
