A study on future prospects and human resources strategy in the field in conjunction with Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism（Report No.143）
Summary
Purpose of a study
Along with progressing aging population with declining birthrate, construction industry is also predicted significant shortage of labors in near future, and in order to secure necessary human resources, various improvement efforts, such as company treatment, job worth doing and future prospects, are implemented in each field.
With purpose of further increasing effectiveness of the efforts, we conducted the questionnaire survey to the third-grade students of industrial high school who major in construction, teachers who are in charge of career guidance counseling and constructional companies. Then we realized the gaps in perception about employment and the factors that are influencing job selection and examined problems and issues in employment and recruitment activities of the construction industry.
The summary of main findings
The information for finding employment which industrial high school students refer is: Job description, reputation of company, company treatment package (payment, day off and vacation, working time, etc.), and office’s atmosphere. On the other hand, construction companies think as their appealing points the followings: job content, job type, construction skill/technical strength, company’s history/company’s achievement, and there can be seen partly mismatch between the information which students need and the one companies supply. In addition, the students who acquired adequate information in finding employment considerably tend to have positive image for construction industry, and also the students who had opportunities to be exposed to construction industry such as internship or sites visit have the same trendancy. Considering such facts, along with offering the proper information which students need, it is assumed that public and private sectors should make further efforts so that companies can let students know the attractiveness of construction industry and also so that students can make a decision of finding employment based on a real experience.
The quantitative analysis according to the result of questionnaire survey showed the tendency; The more the information about job contents, education, and training are collected, the more the probability of choosing construction industry as their future job raises, while the probability of choosing other kind of job falls.
Considering that ‘company that was able to adopt new graduates as planned’ tends to have been adapting a various kinds of training systems, it is assumed to require for company owners to carry out systematically development of human resources.
