Since its inception in 2015, CCF has trained more than 1,00,000 workers. The foundation is committed to develop a skilled workforce for the construction sector, through regular on-site and off-site trainings. In its on-site trainings, CCF uses a combination of theory and practical training to skill workers at the construction sites. In its off-site trainings, youth from source locations are trained on job roles relevant to the construction sector and are provided placement. They are also given information and support to take up entrepreneurial opportunities.

The construction sector employs approximately 70 million people with different skill sets and levels at any given time. Among this massive workforce, the ones that are most marginalized are the construction workers. The problems faced by them are manifold and are graver as compared to workers in other sectors.

The construction industry has experienced rapid growth in India, emerging as one of the fastest-growing sectors in the country. This industry has made a substantial contribution to employment, with an estimated workforce of around 70 million people.

Construction workers do not usually receive any formal training and have access only to some basic training, which is often inadequate and does not equip them to use modern technology or work methods. Shortage of skilled labour hinders the progress of work thereby delay in meeting deadlines i.e., timely output. Given the shortage of skilled manpower in the industry on one hand and high levels of unemployment in the country on the other, the need for skill development cannot be overlooked. Based on the rapid growth in the sector, the growing need for productivity enhancement and income increase linked to skills, there is a strong need for skilling in the building and construction sector.

CCF is committed to improve the lives of workers by increasing their employment opportunities and earning capacity, which would in turn contribute to the education and quality of life of not only them but also their families and add to the human capital index of the country. Providing economic value to a community that is underserved, changes the life of multiple generations in a family and actively contributes to the growth of a country’s economy.
