Construction management induction resources


The Construction and Property Service Industry Skills Council (CPSISC) has developed a suite of resources to support the delivery of a construction management induction program within the general construction industry.

The resources support the delivery of ten qualifications from Certificate IV through to Advanced Diploma, listed in the General Construction Training Package (BCG03) which are relevant to construction managers, or people wishing to undertake a career in construction management.

Developed through the Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations' (Workplace English Language and Literacy) WELL program, the materials have recently been successfully trialled with industry and are now available.

The resources include:

  • Career Guide

This resource is designed to provide careers guidance for construction workers about opportunities in construction management using the higher level qualifications for the industry.

  • Module 1: Interpersonal Communication Skills for Construction Managers
