The Holcim Technical School trains the second generation of construction technicians. 18 young high school graduates, from the total number of registered and examined candidates, were selected to attend the Holcim Technical School in Alesd, Bihor County, an educational program dedicated to training a new generation of professionals.

“The Holcim Technical School is one of Holcim’s most ambitious educational programs in Romania, with the help of which we contribute to the development of future generations of construction professionals. It is a project that evolves from year to year and through which we manage to instill in young people the passion for our industry, but also healthy values for a career start. We have attracted with us young people willing to grow, innovate and perform, with whom we are happy to build the future of Holcim in Romania,” says Mădălina Crăciunescu, Director of HR and Organization Holcim Romania.
