Despite being particularly adept at overcoming daily challenges, contractors often find attracting skilled craft professionals to be a daunting task. Craft training and credentials are a source of pride for their recipients. Every company, regardless of sector, can benefit from increased efficiency and quality of work. The immediate results of craft training have been thoroughly documented in reports such as Construction Industry Craft Training in The United States and Canada and include: decreased turnover, decreased absenteeism and improved safety. Many owners have requirements in their requests for proposals that ensure the companies have workforce development in place. Craft training, along with credentials and certifications, provides an additional level of confidence and is used as proof of a qualified workforce. To bid on some projects, contractors must have a plan in place that demonstrates how they will fulfill those requirements.
