With the Canadian construction industry facing an urgent need for skilled labour and rapid technological adoption, contractors require flexible, immediate access to software proficiency. Through this partnership, Global eTraining and ICBA address an operational bottleneck: eliminating reliance on offsite training, rigid schedules, or fragmented third-party providers by creating structured learning pathways across field, administrative, and leadership roles.
Article content
Previously, member teams needing technical mastery in specific BIM platforms often faced delays getting access to relevant training, along with limited infrastructure to track employee development. By delivering Global eTraining’s catalogue directly through ICBA’s Learning Management System, ICBA creates a more seamless, accessible and measurable learning experience.
