Building Capability Through Training: Tackling the Civil Construction Skills Shortage

A shortage of skilled workers continues to place pressure on the civil construction industry, impacting project timelines, workforce safety, and long-term productivity. As infrastructure demand grows, so does the need for a workforce that is properly trained, adaptable, and ready to meet evolving industry requirements.

At Civil Contractors Federation Queensland (CCF QLD), we recognise that strategic investment in training is critical - not only to meet today’s project demands, but to secure the future of our industry. Ongoing education helps ensure that workers at all levels remain up to date with current practices, technologies, and compliance standards.

We also understand that training is not a one-size-fits-all solution. That’s why CCF QLD provides a range of flexible, industry-driven options to suit varying needs across the sector.
