| apprenticeship in construction management: 21st-Century Apprenticeship Jeffrey A. Cantor, 2015-08-20 Illustrates how a changing U.S. economy demands a revival of employer-based workforce training and suggests a new model of apprenticeship founded on the best of practices past and present, overseas and at home. Registered apprenticeship provides opportunities to learn and earn. Research data indicates that individuals who graduate with an apprenticeship certificate have higher starting salaries than those with only a two-year degree. This book examines the rebirth of an age-old concept in the 21st centuryapprenticeship. Serving as a call to action with a positive message for parents, entrepreneurs, educators, legislators, and political leaders, the book analyzes the condition of the U.S. and world economies from an employment and occupational perspective and describes how apprenticeship training can significantly bolster the economic recovery. Author Jeffrey A. Cantor, PhD, explains how modern-day apprenticeships can serve business owners in developing workers, parents in guiding their children into productive careers and professions, community leaders in instituting workforce development policies that support both entrepreneurs and citizens, and college educators in working more effectively with business and industry within our communities. Readers will learn how apprenticeship can provide young people with invaluable opportunities to train for desirable, high-tech, and high-wage jobs, without their having to give up on a college educationit is possible to have both. |

| apprenticeship in construction management: Construction Harold B. Olin, John L. Schmidt, Walter H. Lewis, 1994-12-16 Principles, Materials, and Methods Harold B. Olin, AIA John L. Schmidt, AIA Walter H. Lewis, AIA revised by H. Leslie Simmons, AIA Through three decades, Harold B. Olin, John L. Schmidt, and Walter H. Lewis’s acclaimed Construction has been the definitive textbook in the field of modern construction technology. Now, with this Sixth Edition, renowned construction consultant H. Leslie Simmons has thoroughly updated this classic work and enhanced it to reflect key developments in the industry. Like its predecessors, this edition provides a uniquely detailed yet easy-to-follow coverage of small residential construction—from wood, masonry, and finishes to HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and other systems. But it also offers a number of important new features, among them: The editorial input of today’s leading manufacturers, trade and professional associations, standard-setting bodies, government agencies, and industry publications. All-new guidance on the materials and methods used in the construction of commercial, institutional, and larger residential buildings, including low-, mid-, and high-rise buildings and more on wood frame construction. A new, one-of-a-kind core structure that follows the design of Masterformat, the CSI-developed standard for organizing specifications. This solid framework gives students an early understanding of the specs and data-filing formats used in the vast majority of private sector and government building projects in the United States. More than 2,000 all-new illustrations, including first-ever photographs of contemporary commercial and industrial buildings. An Instructor’s Manual and a Student Workbook, available for the first time with this edition, both written by Terry L. Patterson of the University of Oklahoma, author of Construction Materials for Architects and Designers and the new study, Frank Lloyd Wright and the Meaning of Materials. Extensively revised bibliographies and glossaries, plus a new appendix listing the names addresses, and phone numbers of the organizations, associations, and agencies that contributed to the book. All this comes together in the new Sixth Edition of Construction: Principles, Materials, and Methods, making it an even stronger and more indispensible classroom reference than it was before. |

Schreyer, 2017-02-09 The leading guide to professional home construction, updated and expanded Fundamentals of Residential Construction is the definitive guide to single family and multifamily home building that details every step of the construction process. From siting and foundations to finishing details, this book provides a complete walk-through of professional home construction. Over 1,200 drawings and photographs animate the textbook, while interactive supplementary online resources help facilitate an understanding of the material.

| apprenticeship in construction management: Vocational Education and Training in Times of Economic Crisis Matthias Pilz, 2016-12-20 This book brings together a broad range of approaches and methodologies relevant to international comparative vocational education and training (VET). Revealing how youth in transition is affected by economic crises, it provides essential insights into the strengths and weaknesses of the various systems and prospects of VET in contexts ranging from North America to Europe, (e.g. Spain, Germany or the UK) to Asia (such as China, Thailand and India). Though each country examined in this volume is affected by the economic crisis in a different way, the effects are especially apparent for the young generation. In many countries the youth unemployment rate is still very high and the job perspectives for young people are often limited at best. The contributions in this volume demonstrate that VET alone cannot solve these problems, but can be used to support a smooth transition from school to work. If the quality of VET is high and the status and job expectations are good, VET can help to fill the skills gap, especially at the intermediate skill level. Furthermore, VET can also offer a realistic alternative to the university track for young people in many countries. |

| apprenticeship in construction management: Apprentice Nation Ryan Craig, 2023-11-07 College isn’t for everyone. It’s time to challenge the status quo and embrace the potential of apprenticeships in tech, healthcare, finance, and more—which can provide a sustainable pathway to economic opportunity. For decades, college has been the only respectable way to access the world of work, despite paralyzing tuition and a dire lack of practical skills that has left 40 percent of college graduates underemployed, unfulfilled, and struggling to repay student loan debt. Education and workforce expert Ryan Craig explores how a modern apprenticeship system will allow students and job seekers to jump-start their careers by learning while they earn—ultimately leading to greater workforce diversity and geographic mobility. With a deep dive into the history behind America’s outdated college system, Craig reveals: The origins of the student debt crises and admissions scandals Why apprenticeships are an effective pathway to career opportunity What America can do to catch up with other nations making apprenticeship opportunities broadly available Where students and job seekers can go to land an apprenticeship Featuring a directory of US apprenticeship programs by industry and location, Apprentice Nation is an accessible blueprint for a country where young Americans of all backgrounds can launch careers in a variety of in-demand fields. With just a few common sense changes to education and workforce development, anapprentice nation will put the American Dream within reach—for everyone. |

The guidelines and toolkit will help stakeholders to collaborate more closely with companies, chambers of commerce and business associations. It outlines how the private sector could contribute to the employability of individuals through providing labour market signals, improving technical and practical skills acquisition, integrating industry know-how and expertise to every step of the trainings and help link skills to placement opportunities. These will ensure that disadvantaged youth, women and other marginalized groups are ready to enter the labour force with possessing the right skills they need to thrive. The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development highlights the importance of skills and lifelong learning not only to make individuals competitive in the labour market but also to empower people. Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 4 reminds us that inclusive, quality education is critical for human development. SDG 8 reminds us that decent work and economic growth can only be achieved through productive capacities. The relationship between skills and employability is fundamental to the success of the SDGs — from eradicating poverty to achieving gender equality to empowering women and girls. Bridging the skills mismatch for greater employability will be a huge leap forward in achieving the SDGs. This publication guarantees to guide all stakeholders in the direction of improving the existing skills and reducing the skills mismatch for greater employability of the target groups. The Guidelines and Toolkit will complement existing UNDP work on sustainable employment and inclusive growth and augments the related efforts of other international organizations. |
| apprenticeship in construction management: Routledge Handbook on Labour in Construction and Human Settlements Edmundo Werna, George Ofori, 2023-12-12 Routledge Handbook on Labour in Construction and Human Settlements presents a detailed and comprehensive examination of the relationship between labour and the built environment, and synergises these critical focus areas in innovative ways. This unrivalled edited collection of chapters analyses problems and presents possible solutions related to the employment and conditions of workers in the construction industry. It provides comprehensive coverage of the relationship between the global workforce and the built environment and is divided into four topical areas: how labour and the built environment relate to development; employment generation in the built environment; quality of employment in the built environment; and the impact of the built environment on labour in other sectors. Underpinning the entire book is the premise that the way the built environment is produced, and its main products – buildings, cities and towns – have an impact on large numbers of workers. At the same time, the quality of the built environment requires construction workers who are well trained and with good working conditions. While cities and towns are the engines of economic growth, they will not be able to fulfil their economic potential if poverty in the workforce is not addressed. Those who are unemployed, underemployed or work in unfavourable conditions cannot fully contribute to production, and at the same time are limited in their ability to purchase goods and services – therefore limiting economic growth and restricting improvements in their living standards. In addition, investments in infrastructure, housing and inner-city redevelopment cannot be sustainable if labour issues – i.e., poverty – are not addressed. This book aims at analysing this complex set of issues comprehensively and will be essential reading to a wide range of researchers across the interdisciplinary intersections of construction, business and management, economic development, urban studies, sociology, political science and project management. |
