FCC Construcción has once again been recognized for showing its faith- ful and active commitment to the role that women play in today’s society, in one of its major projects in Chile. Taking into account that female em- ployment is the most affected by the health crisis caused by COVID-19, different administrations in the coun - try, such as the Ministry of Women and Gender Equality and the Chilean Chamber of Construction, as well as several media have praised the proactive attitude of the Mapocho Río Park project to achieve the maxi- mum inclusion of women in the labor market. Since last August, different admi - nistrations, in collaboration with the Ministries of Economy, Labor, Public Works and Housing, have not only had as their main objective the rein- Mapocho Río Park, the FCC Construcción project in Chile, an example of the inclusion of women in the workplace sertion of women into the labor mar- ket, as well as hiring and bidding pro- cesses with a gender perspective, but have also focused on promoting good inclusive practices and increasing tra- ining opportunities. Antonio Errázuriz, president of the Chilean Chamber of Construction, highlighted the fundamental need to “promote the incorporation of wo- men in construction, especially gi- ven the profound impact they have had in terms of unemployment since the pandemic. In this same line, the Undersecretary of Labor, Fernando Arab, emphasized the visibility and the possibility of carrying out training courses with which they hope to “im- prove the levels of female incorpora- tion in the sector”. Finally, the undersecretary of the Housing portfolio in Chile, Guillermo Rolando, explained that the company has been preparing the portfolio for many months “so that with the current injection of resources half a million new jobs can be generated, where there is a great opportunity to include women, giving higher scores in ten- ders if there is gender equity, as we already did in the Mapocho Río Park in Cerro Navia.
