ABSTRACT
Several studies on building craft skills have identified a number of problems including ineffective training as responsible for shortages of craftsmen in the building industry. Largely qualitative approach was adopted in conducting the research. Detailed literature review on training of craftsmen led to the development of a semi-structured interview guide which was used in conducting interviews in technical training institutions and building organisations. In the technical institutions, senior management staff that specialised in technical training were interviewed while in the building organisations, both management staff and craftsmen were interviewed. The results showed the existence of different Framework for bridging skill gaps in each training institution with similarities, strengths and weaknesses. Other findings include the absence of direct collaboration between institutions and industry in delivering training; industrial training is poorly organised, supervised and the duration is inadequate; lack of prearrangement for the conduct of industrial training; training delivery is generic in most institutions regardless of the specific requirement of industries. Consequently, from the findings of the study, a harmonised Framework for bridging skill gap for training building craftsmen was developed which takes advantage of the strengths of the existing Framework for bridging skill gaps while minimising their weaknesses. The developed Framework for bridging skill gap was validated using building industry stakeholders. The study concludes that training of building craftsmen can be delivered in a collaborative manner with all stakeholders in the building industry performing roles based on their strategic advantage. It is recommended that sector specific technical training approach should be adopted and implemented n a collaborative manner for effective training; the developed Framework for bridging skill gap for training of building craftsmen should be adopted and implemented.
