A Preliminary Report on Associated Builders and Contractors Apprenticeship Training: Flawed and Failing Initiatives A Study by the Building and Construction Trades Department
The construction industry is built upon a foundation of skilled craftsmanship. These skills, primarily supplied through apprenticeship and training programs, are critical to the supply of skilled workers, the safety of construction sites, and the reliability of our nation’s offices, roads, and homes. This report reveals that the average Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC) apprenticeship program registers relatively few apprentices, produces more cancellations that graduations, enrolls only a small proportion of all female and minority apprentices, and provides training in a narrower range of crafts.
