A Strategic Alliance Driving Digital Transformation and Sustainability in Organizations.
On June 13, Porto Business School (PBS) announced a new strategic partnership with Grupo Casais, a national and international leader in the construction sector. This agreement aims to enhance employee development through access to advanced training programs tailored to industry needs and aligned with organizational goals.
The partnership grants Grupo Casais professionals privileged access to PBS’s comprehensive portfolio, including MBAs, Postgraduate Programs, Executive Programs, and customized training. These programs build essential skills to meet market challenges, focusing on leadership, innovation, and strategic management.
“We believe continuous learning and knowledge are key to preparing our people for a constantly evolving sector. This partnership with Porto Business School naturally extends our commitment to empowerment, creating new opportunities for growth, innovation, and leadership,” says Ana Ribeiro, Business Director at Academia Casais.
Beyond training access, the collaboration includes networking initiatives between Grupo Casais employees and the PBS academic community, such as mentoring sessions, themed events, and collaborative projects. Engagement with emerging talent is supported through the Talent Book and internship programs.
Grupo Casais stands out for its strong investment in training, with over 163,000 hours delivered in 2024—covering leadership, safety, technical skills, and personal development. Programs like Level UP and Mais Líder exemplify its ongoing dedication to employee growth.
“In a demanding sector like construction, investing in people ensures business sustainability by fostering a culture of excellence and continuous learning,” says António Carlos Rodrigues, CEO of Grupo Casais.
