One thing I've learned in the construction industry that also applies to all other industries, is that all you have to do is stand out above the others to get ahead. Furthering your knowledge and education helps to achieve this. I personally want to give you guys a little knowledge that Ihave learned by trial and error. Half my life I was in prison. Since 2014 I came home and put 100% of my energy into my career. Not only did I stand out, but I stood out to the point to where I could not be overlooked. This was because I learned everything I did not know about my trade, and would not do anything without making sure I completely understood the task and processes 100%. I was a lead man in a year and I've been moving up nonstop ever since.

Discuss your possible routes of skill upgrading with your employer. A good open discussion can help you develop the skills that your employer really needs, and often this is transferable between employers as well. No point in developing a skill that is not appropriate to your job.

Upskill with information need to hold the project running live, Especially on skills like advanced project management, new construction technologies, or sustainable building practices.

Obtaining certifications is a concrete way to demonstrate your commitment to your profession and your willingness to go above and beyond. Certifications in specialized areas of construction can make your resume stand out and show prospective employers that you have a deep understanding of certain aspects of the job. This could be anything from a certification in green building practices to advanced safety protocols, each adding a layer of credibility to your professional profile.

Certifications are items proving that you have knowledge in different areas of your trade. This topic goes hand in hand with the previous topic.

Participate in workshops, Read industry publications and journals to stay informed and gain more knowledge about the latest trends, technologies, and best practices. Focus more over green building, Zero Carbon emission and much more.

Conforme vamos adquiriendo más experiencia, surgen dos caminos ricos en enaeñanza: - Uno es estar conectado a redes y grupos de trabajo/estudio, que nos mantenga informados sobre nuevos avances en las materias que más nos interesa. - Otro es enseñar. Cuando enseñamos a alguien o a un grupo de alumnos, aprendemos más al tener que estar en la cresta ee la ola, además de recibir feedback a través de sus preguntas y comentarios, sin olvidar el trato que con ellos debemos mantener y las técnicas de comunicación que debemos emplear.

La participación activa en redes como LinkedIn, nos ayuda a estar informados y a generar nuevos contenidos que a terceros pueda interesar. Te sugiero hacerlo, siempre desde el conocimiento real y demostrable, no juicios de valor u opiniones personales. Todos tenemos nuestro área experto y experiencia, donde podemos dar y recibir mucho.
