Beyond the Workshop
This December workshop is your first step into BLD Academy's mission to bridge the education-employment gap
There's a disconnect between what schools teach and what the industry actually needs. Universities focus on theory, but workplaces demand practical skills. The result?
Engineering graduates who can't apply theory to real projects
Limited or unstructured workplace exposure through internships
Designers who don't understand how construction works on-site
Skilled tradesmen whose practical expertise goes unrecognized
Applied Learning
Turn theory into practice through hands-on activities, internships, apprenticeships, and real project exposure
Industry Pathways
Create clear paths from students to professionals, connecting schools, training institutes, and employers
Expert Mentorship
Learn from licensed, experienced tradesmen who teach practical, worksite-based skills
Industry-Ready Skills
Align education with industry standards—graduate "job-ready," not just "exam-ready"
This December DIY workshop is your entry point into a comprehensive ecosystem that values both academic achievement and hands-on experience.
