Taj Concrete has opened a training facility in Dubai on 10 November 2015, with classrooms and workshops to train hundreds of students how to use decorative concrete in construction.
Acoording to Matthew Burns, general manager of Taj Concrete, there is a huge scope for a decorative concrete market, as a significant increase in demand has left the industry short of qualified.
He explained: In less than 6 months I’ve had over 12,000 visits to my website. I’m also getting calls from contractors because there are not enough people in the industry who understand how to use it.
“Our training facility combines lectures with hands-on training using a four week intensive programme.”
He said that many of the current crop of young people that he trains are being sent by companies in Africa, but that the potential is also there for people in the Middle East to tap into this thriving industry at a time when regional demand is higher than it’s ever been.
In order to build on the momentum that is currently underway, Burns will be among a team of experts to lead a free workshop at this year’s Middle East Concrete exhibition at Dubai World Trade Centre from 23-26 November 2015.
