Training and development

Knowledge and expertise are the master keys to the organisation’s performance. Throughout its history, driven by the need and the search for added value, the AFA Group has sought to develop various training programmes for its employees. These are tailored to the Group’s position in the markets where it operates and the objectives to be achieved in its strategic plan. The training needs are varied, and transversal to all companies, departments and areas of activity.

Given that much of the AFA Group’s activity in construction is supported by the internal supply of materials and equipment to its works projects, training is essential in the areas of metalworking, carpentry, light and heavy machinery, laboratories, facilities producing concrete, bituminous mixtures and aggregates, geotechnics, inert materials, industrial electricity, mechatronics, equipment inspection, industrial waste management and the monitoring of production management systems.

Furthermore, given that the AFA Group’s whole administrative dynamic is implemented and managed internally and centrally, structures exist that underpin the organisational design and include a set of divisions and departments that are considered to have different responsibilities. To achieve this performance, all areas with responsibilities require knowledge training and refresher courses.

Over the years, a number of training initiatives have been implemented that cover different areas of knowledge of a more administrative nature, namely Accounting and Auditing, Human Resources Management, Cost Control, Legislation and Tax Changes, Public Procurement, Financial and Banking Practices, Marketing and Behavioural and Corporate Development.

A number of training courses are also a result of certain business development decisions, such as the Spanish course as part of the Group’s internationalisation and expansion into the Latin American market and the Real Estate Legislation course, within the context of the emphatic increase within the context of the emphatic increase in real estate activity both in recent years and in the years to come.
