Dear colleagues,
Encouraging news from the recruiting front: together with BESIX Infra, BESIX Group has recently partnered with Duo for a Job, a respected Belgian non-profit organisation, in a significant initiative to offer tangible opportunities for 20 job seekers right here in Flanders.
This initiative carries immense importance for us. As BESIX Infra’s order book continue to expand, we are faced with the challenge of filling positions that are often hard to find in the road works sector. This partnership aligns with our ongoing commitment to workplace diversity and inclusivity while addressing our pressing staffing needs in the regional infrastructure industry.
What's unique about this initiative is how it brings together experienced professionals from within our own ranks with younger job seekers, often immigrants and individuals from diverse backgrounds.
Here’s how it works
Seasoned professionals within BESIX Group and BESIX Infra will play a pivotal role in guiding and supporting these job seekers through Duo for a Job's mentoring program. We'll equip them with the essential skills and confidence needed to thrive in our sector, notably thanks to the internal BESIX Infra Academy. Initially, our focus will be on training road and infrastructure workers, with the possibility of expanding to other categories in the future.
This collaboration with Duo for a Job fits perfectly into our ESG approach. It is not only about fulfilling our staffing needs but also about making a difference in the lives of those seeking concrete opportunities. Together, we're creating a more diverse and inclusive workforce.
Thank you for your ongoing support and commitment to our shared goal of creating sustainable solutions for a better world.
