Fundación Laboral de la Construcción de Galicia participates in the Xunta de Galicia’s ‘Ti Elixes’ campaign, delivering 43 talks to 12 ESO centres to dismantle gender prejudices and present construction as a professional option for girls, with sessions led by technicians like Chus Quintáns and role models such as Maruxa Barros, a specialist in vertical work. Funded by the Consellería de Promoción del Emprego e Igualdade, this initiative forms part of five editions reaching over 5,000 students through 212 talks in 65 centres, challenging ideas like “Are there men’s jobs or women’s jobs?” and highlighting women’s testimonies from the sector.​

Though women account for 8.8% of those employed in Galician construction (6,216 professionals, on the rise), they remain underrepresented in on-site trades amid 1,700 annual retirements requiring young female talent. Programmes like ‘Construyendo en Femenino‘ (with Fundación “la Caixa”) achieve over 40% job placement, while “Ti eliges” bolsters this effort by sparking vocations in a sector transforming towards digitalisation and sustainability.
