Construction takes care of you!

You're done with school and what are you going to do next? You've probably heard that question more often than you'd like. Because what a lot of possibilities there are. The "sky is the limit. You are at the beginning of your career and what is important? A fast car? Status? Or are you looking for a challenging sector built on craftsmanship? Where there is always room for motivated people? Then construction suits you! 

Chilling out?

After all, construction is so much more than the industry of hard work, getting up before dawn and long days. Of course, construction is not for wimps. But what many people don't know is that this industry takes incredibly good care of you. From your first day of work to your last. The industry leads the way with a battery of provisions to ensure that you make it to retirement healthy. And perhaps more importantly, that you enjoy going to work every day. Health and job satisfaction throughout your career. Because that's what it's really about.

Gift!

What does that look like in practice? If you are covered by the Collective Labor Agreement for Construction & Infra, you can make use of the Individual Targeted Prevention Care package at no extra cost. That is quite a mouthful, but in short it comes down to the following. When you start working in construction, from the age of 19 you are automatically entitled to a medical examination (the PAGO) combined with an advisory interview (the DIA). In this interview, together with a consultant, you look at your career. What are your dreams, which steps do you need to take and how do you go about it? All topics you can talk about. After the interview you will receive a practical action plan. 

Fast car or fast road

The examination and interview take place every 4 years. In this way you not only keep track of your health, but also of your career opportunities. And precisely the latter is important when you are at the beginning of your career. New opportunities, possibilities and challenges don't usually come out of the blue. So make sure you are ready to seize them when they arise. You will automatically receive an invitation for both the examination and the counseling session. Are you under the age of 19? Then you will be invited for a medical examination where there will be an additional discussion of how you really work safely. This interview is called the AGO-J.

Aren't you looking for a fast car but a fast path to a challenging job in an industry that isn't afraid to invest in you? Consider construction! Learn more about the interviews you're entitled to here (LINK: https://www.volandis.nl/dia/)
