Purpose Human resource contributes significantly to the outcome of construction projects. In recent years, apprenticeship programs are being implemented to train young people to address shortage of skills workers and ageing workforce problem. This study aims to understand the factors influencing career decisions among apprentices in the construction sector. Design/methodology/approach A qualitative research approach was used to address the objectives of the study. Forty semi-structured interviews were conducted to gain insights into the reason why young people decide to participate in construction craftsperson apprenticeship in Nigeria. Findings The study reveals that “interest and passion”, “role model”, “macroeconomic environment and government policies”, “spirit of entrepreneurship”, “formal, informal and non-formal education” and “family socioeconomic status” are the factors influencing career decisions among construction craftspeople. Originality/value The study provides fresh insights that can be used to develop strategies for attracting and increasing the number of young people that sign up for construction craftspeople apprenticeships. The apprentice training programmes are essential for addressing labour shortage, which is one of the factors affecting the performance of construction projects.

Pengumpulan data melalui diskusi mendalam dan wawancara kepada mahasiswa yang telah magang di industri. Analisis data yang digunakan adalah statistik deskriptif dilanjutkan dengan analisis kualitatif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa mahasiswa yang melakukan magang di industri lingkungan menyatakan pemahamannya terhadap isu lingkungan meningkat, demikian pula kepercayaan dirinya. Selain itu, terungkap pula bahwa sistem pemagangan yang dilakukan memberikan pengalaman nyata untuk melihat permasalahan lingkungan dan membangun kesadaran diri. Oleh karena itu perlu mengajak masyarakat untuk menerapkan etika lingkungan dalam memanfaatkan sumber daya alam.

Lerman (2019) states that there are at least five advantages for companies that open internship opportunities and manage them well, namely contributing to production and service costs, reducing the cost of hiring new employees if the company can retain most of the apprentices, reducing training costs for new employees to get to know tools. and work environment, increasing the company's experience in conducting apprenticeship programs and the cost of internships is part of the investment for company development.…”
