The construction industry continues to face a common challenge: how to help workforces keep pace with rapidly evolving technology while maintaining productivity, consistency and project success.
To help address this challenge, Global eTraining and Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC) are collaborating through the ABC Construction Technology Workforce Initiative, a chapter-driven effort designed to support workforce development and accelerate digital adoption across the construction industry.
As part of this initiative, Global eTraining is excited to announce ABC San Diego as the lead chapter, helping guide and champion efforts to strengthen workforce readiness and accelerate digital adoption through scalable training.
In addition to ABC San Diego, additional Founding Chapters will be announced at the upcoming ABC Presidents Conference, which Global eTraining is proud to present at and attend. Together, these chapters represent an important step toward expanding workforce development resources and supporting member organizations as they continue navigating an increasingly digital construction environment.
Supporting Chapters, Supporting Members
Associated Builders and Contractors is a national construction industry trade association with 67 chapters and 24,000 members. ABC helps members offer a robust employee value proposition, develop people, win work and deliver that work safely, ethically and profitably for the betterment of the communities in which ABC and its members work.
The ABC Construction Technology Workforce Initiative is designed to help chapters further support their members through scalable workforce development programs focused on construction technology adoption. By providing access to training resources, implementation support and digital adoption strategies, the initiative helps chapters equip member organizations with the tools needed to build workforce capability and project readiness.
Another key benefit of the initiative is the ability for chapters to create, customize, update and share training content both within their own chapter networks and across the broader ABC community. Chapters can develop resources tailored to the needs of their members and then collaborate with other chapters by sharing proven training content, best practices and workforce development materials. This shared approach helps reduce duplication of effort while allowing each chapter to adapt content to reflect local regulations, workforce needs, project requirements and regional priorities.
At its core, the initiative recognizes that successful technology implementation is about more than software. Long-term success depends on ensuring people have the skills, confidence and support needed to adopt new workflows and apply them consistently across projects.
How Global eTraining Supports the Initiative
Global eTraining helps AECO and manufacturing firms worldwide close skills gaps, confirm project readiness and accelerate digital adoption with the industry’s leading AI-powered online training platform.
The platform enables organizations to rapidly build custom company and project-specific workflow training up to 12 times faster than ever before, ensuring the right teams receive the right training at the right time.
Using patented course-building technology, companies can rapidly combine their materials and SOPs with AI and pre-existing Global eTraining content from the industry’s largest construction training library (featuring content in subjects such as Autodesk, Bentley, Procore, Bluebeam, Revizto, BIM, laser scanning, GIS, digital twins and more) to create highly targeted learning programs. Courses can be edited, translated, tracked and continuously updated with auto-sync capabilities across courses, custom learning paths and learning management systems.
This approach enables consistent training for internal teams and across entire projects, including subtrades and supply chains, helping organizations standardize learning while supporting project delivery goals.
Through the ABC Construction Technology Workforce Initiative, participating chapters can leverage these capabilities to help members strengthen workforce readiness, support onboarding and upskilling efforts and accelerate the adoption of digital workflows.
Looking Ahead
The launch of the initiative and the involvement of ABC San Diego as the lead chapter marks the beginning of a broader effort to support workforce development across the ABC chapter network.
As additional Founding Chapters are announced at the ABC Presidents Conference, Global eTraining looks forward to working alongside chapter leaders to expand access to scalable training programs and help member organizations build the skills needed for long-term success.
Global eTraining is also proud to be the only training provider in the ABC Tech Marketplace. ABC members can visit our ABC Tech Marketplace page to learn more about available solutions and receive an exclusive 20% discount on Global eTraining offerings.
We’re excited to work alongside ABC and its chapters as this initiative continues to grow.
