Dow Corning to provide training program for Indian construction industry

As a follow-up to its Quality Bond program, which was launched in India in 2012, Dow Corning Corporation, the US-based global leader in silicone technology, has launched Centre for Construction Expertise initiative exclusively in India, in order to provide training tailored to the needs of the country’s construction industry.
 
The Centre will conduct a range of construction-focused workshops across India over the coming year. Taught by construction industry professionals, these workshops are suitable for skilled and unskilled construction workers, contractors and fabricators, builders, apprentices and other contributors to this industry.
 
Jean-Paul Hautekeer, Global Marketing Director for High-Performance Building, Dow Corning, said, “Given the increased usage of high-performance silicone materials in the construction industry, there is an increasing demand for workers who are knowledgeable about these materials and skilled in their application. Through the Centre for Construction Expertise, Dow Corning is working to help meet that demand.”
 
These workshops will be available at no charge for a limited time. The first workshop is scheduled to take place in Pune on March 21, 2014.
 
Hautekeer said, “We believe the Centre for Construction Expertise will greatly benefit India’s construction industry as a whole. Training programs like these can help improve the skill set of India’s workforce and enhance the quality and performance of construction projects. They can also promote safer work practices and increase job satisfaction among workers.”
