Training a Workforce That Moves
Skills development across sites and contractors.
What this coversHideConstruction training has to reach people at site, in short sessions, for a workforce that changes between phases and includes contractor labour you do not employ.
- Site-based delivery in short sessions, not classroom programmes
- Safety training as the mandatory base, recorded per person
- Trade skill development and certification support
- Supervisor and charge-hand capability as the priority investment
- Contractor labour included in safety training, recorded separately
- Training records that follow the worker between sites
- Toolbox talks as the routine delivery mechanism
- Site engineer and project management development
Training records that follow the worker between sites are what prevent the same induction being delivered four times to the same person in a year.
The general method — what learning and development covers, the questions it answers and what an engagement produces — is the same whatever the sector, and is set out on the learning and development process page. What is above is the part that differs for construction and real estate.
