m² Real Estate has inaugurated the Construct2 civil engineering college. The official ceremony was attended by representatives from m², BK Construction, local government bodies and the media. The project aims to train professionals for the construction sector and help create jobs.

The inauguration ceremony was also attended by the Deputy Minister of Economy and Sustainable Development Genadi Arveladze.

Construct2 represents a joint project by the Georgian Ministry of Education, Science, Culture and Sports and the development firm m². Its total investment value is GEL 3 million.

Each year, the college will train up to 600 certified specialists through 11 short-term professional programmes, as well as labour safety and environmental technology specialists through the state programme. As part of the project, the college will provide employment for up to 50 academic and up to 30 administrative staff.

The civil engineering college, which will admit its first batch of students in 2019, represents an m² corporate social responsibility project, which aims to develop the construction sector by strengthening education, as well as help create jobs for the local population. The college will provide young people with the opportunity to channel their potential in the right direction and establish themselves as professionals in their field.

"We will do everything to ensure that our students attain both theoretical knowledge and practical experience at the highest level, and establish themselves as a leading workforce on the labour market. We firmly believe that our college will soon become an internationally significant institution of professional learning. This will significantly encourage the students who are interested in civil engineering and stimulate development of this sector in Georgia,” stated m²’s Director General Irakli Burdiladze.

Construct2 was co-founded by BK Construction (known as BK Capital prior to rebranding), which became an m² subsidiary company in 2017 upon deciding to focus on construction management.
