Abstract: Imbued with the conviction that continuous improvement of the workforce is vital for the sustainability and competitiveness of construction, various training initiatives have been introduced to promote the improvement of workforce performance within construction industries. The failure to contend with fragmented nature of construction exacerbated further by change have often been quoted as leading to mismatches between the training offered and the workforce training needs. Consequently, many training initiatives have fallen short of its intended objective and the challenge of meeting the needs for improved performance of the workforce continue to persist. In recognition of the need to circumvent this phenomenon, this paper draws from some of the findings of a research on the UK construction industry. It posits that the way forward for the construction industry workforce improvement is to critically rethink the training and by assimilating best practice concep!
ts within the training processes. In conclusion, it suggests a best practice training framework to underpin the effective design, delivery and outcomes of training.
