Training & Education
A study by the Construction
Industry Institute, which is supported by the Construction Users Roundtable,
stated for each dollar invested in construction training a contractor can expect
a return of 30% - 200%. “The benefits accrue in the form of increased
productivity, and reductions in turnover, absenteeism, rework and other areas.”
The research explained that construction training is where safety training was
fifteen years ago. “Safety improvements garnered much attention then and the
evidence exists that construction training pays off just as well.” This study
concentrated on craft training but research conducted by the American Society
for Training and Development shows the average return on investment for the
education of supervisors and managers can be over 700%.
Colorado
Contractors Association uses this research to select and promote its offerings
of classes and seminars and continue to be the leader in construction education,
safety and training for the heavy civil, highway and municipal utility
construction industry. From safety and environmental to basic and advanced
management development programs, CCA is offering classes that will either save
contractors money, make them money or keep them in compliance with local, state
and federal requirements.
