Introduction
Creating training for the home building industry in Newfoundland and Labrador
The Canadian Home Builders’ Association - Newfoundland and Labrador (CHBA-NL) represents 200+ employers and members involved in the residential construction industry — including homebuilders, renovators, land developers, trade contractors, product and material manufacturers, building product suppliers, lending institutions, insurance providers, and service professionals.
CHBA-NL engaged Training Works to research, create, and implement a training strategy with the goal of adapting NL homebuilders to changing market demands, new technologies, and to prepare them for long-term success.
With the help of the association and its members, a structure was soon formalised to identify, select, and develop the training program. A Training Oversight Committee was set up to help identify training trends for the project, while Training Works and the selected trainers worked with Individual Focus Groups to direct the specific training requirements of each homebuilder.
