Abstract
Key inferences, implications, and recommendations (see Chapter 7) are drawn around the salient findings and include: The need for critical review of all formal education, with particular emphasis on management education for construction,
Key Findings
The broad perception of respondents to the RT-17 survey was that current education and training were not adequate to meet the needs of the construction industry. (SD-54, p. 19)
Education and training are a continuum, with upper level functions requiring roughly equal portions of formal education, special training and on-the-job experience; lower level functions benefit more from proportionally greater amounts of special training and on-the-job experience. The 11 identified construction roles are shown in the table below. (SD-54, p. 33, Table 4)
