International Journal of Project Organisation and Management, 2009, vol. 1, issue 4, 398-407

Abstract: The shortage of skilled construction workers has a negative impact on contractors and owners due to delays in time schedule and rework of tasks. In the prequalification process, owners should assess contractors according to their overall company training programme and the investments they made in training as one of the evaluation criteria. Investing in capacity building and training of construction workforce would solve workforce skill crises. This research work attempts to address workforce skill-related problems in construction. It reviews Training Needs Assessment (TNA), considered the key issue in contributing to the success of the training programmes. The results of a survey that was conducted to identify the training needs in an Egyptian construction workforce are presented.
