Shape your future Faculty of Engineering Bilbao Steel Programme

We have launched Room4Steel together with the Faculty of Engineering Bilbao as part of our commitment to the steel sector and its companies. SIDEREX is committed to retaining talent, improving skills and promoting the introduction of students into the steel sector’s labour market, providing them with stable and quality employment. We encourage you to participate in this interesting initiative for our society.

The aim of this class is twofold: to bring the steel sector closer to the Faculty of Engineering Bilbao and to enable the companies affiliated with the class to locate talent. This year the number of participating companies has increased; once again we will offer the possibility of developing projects of interest to companies, as well as a training curriculum for students and professionals in the sector.

The 2022-2023 academic year saw various projects presented by different companies in the steel sector. Each company assigns someone to supervise the work of the student, and the Faculty of Engineering Bilbao assigns an advisor, and a teacher with experience and knowledge in the areas addressed in the project. We encourage you to participate and take advantage of this unique opportunity.
