Description

“BUILDINGyourLEARNING” is a digital library for consulting and downloading books for the construction industry. It was created on the initiative of the social partners of the construction industry, represented by Constructiv. This library offers material on jobs, safety and well-being in the construction sector. We can find a large number of didactic resources that can be used to support lessons, training or during a career, such as:

  • Construction trades manuals written by working groups of professionals;
  • PowerPoint presentations produced by constructiv ;
  • Checklists, thematic files, information sheets, codes of practice, toolbox sheets for safety and prevention;
  • Video material and links to interesting websites;
  • ConstruBooks”: a new form of learning support for the trades that allows for personalised and interactive navigation through the content.
  • Thematic campaigns run by the sector

Several levels of combinable filters are possible depending on the trade, the language or the type of support sought.

Constructiv maintains and feeds the site on an ongoing basis. It is also possible to contribute to the site by proposing didactic tools.

Constructiv

Constructiv is an organisation serving the construction sector.

This project has resulted in a very useful and comprehensive digital tool for all professionals working in the construction sector, but also for all teachers and trainers.

Indeed, the library allows workers to keep up to date with the latest regulations relating to safety and well-being in the various construction trades, but it also allows an exchange of educational content for the development of course programmes or training. It also centralises up-to-date information on health measures against the corona virus, making it easier for anyone working in the construction industry to find information.
