Construction engineering remains a field recognized by experts as one of the most desirable career paths within the labor markets of both Lithuania and the broader European region. To encourage interest, Rimvydas Beržonskis, the director of HSC Baltic, noted that he and the university conduct proactive visits to schools to illustrate the practical realities of an engineering career. During these outreach efforts, Mr.
Beržonskis observed a trend among the young generation, pointing out that while some students expressed interest in careers like becoming “YouTube stars,” the professional landscape is undergoing rapid transformation. He emphasized that while artificial intelligence is capable of automating some creative functions, the discipline of construction engineering presents a unique area that cannot be fully replaced by technology. He argued that even the most advanced modern technologies require human expertise for comprehension, implementation, and control.
According to Beržonskis, the foundational knowledge gained through engineering education provides more than just job security; it offers a pathway to stable and reliable income for future people. The director stressed that the enduring need for skilled professionals to design, build, and manage physical infrastructure ensures that the demand for qualified engineers will remain robust, providing a stable foundation for the workforce.
