Skilled workers’ performance is one of the crucial aspects of labour productivity that requires proper attention for effective projects delivery in the construction industry. The level of skilled workers’ low performance has been seen to be a major factor which contributes toward inefficient construction projects productivity. Therefore, the objective of this research is to identify the causes of low-skilled workers’ performance in construction projects in the Nigeria. The objective was achieved through a structured quantitative method of questionnaire distributed to 150 respondents that comprise of active stakeholders in the Nigerian construction industry. 111 responses representing 74 % were retrieved. The data were analysed using descriptive statistics and analysis of variance (ANOVA). The finding shows that; low wages of skilled, lack of sufficient skill acquisition centres and lack of incentive schemes for skilled workers were the most significant causes of low-skilled workers’ performance in the Nigerian construction industry. The homogenous analysis indicates that there are significant differences in perception of respondents on few variables whereas majority of respondents have similarities in most of the variables. The research findings indicate the need for stakeholders in the Nigerian construction industry to provide incentives and motivate skilled workers, provide training and retraining, conducive working condition, supply of quality materials and equipment, and proper site management in order improve low-skilled workers’ performance in Nigerian construction industry towards optimal performance.

This article clarifies the concept of "vocational training", by which we mean the process of human management on the mastery of their knowledge, skills or abilities and the development of professional skills of the person. It was determined that training of future professionals in the centers of technical and vocational education combines professional practice and professional theoretical training, which is based on the didactic principles of future workers education (training and education on the basis of productive work, learning at the level of modern transport and equipment based on the best practices of labor, scientific, accessible and affordable education, the visibility in the training, stages of training, operational knowledge, transfer of skills, awareness and activity of students under the leadership of master of industrial training). Under the principles of industrial education we understand the original guidelines that define the content, organizational forms, means, methods of training and education that the worker is guided in his practical activities. Knowledge of such principles, their proper application in accordance with the professional orientation of pupils of their age characteristics and individual characteristics will allow the trainers to reach the heights in the training of future workers. Definition and justification of pedagogical conditions of future workers’ training in the centers of vocational education gives us the opportunity to outline their groups, namely: organizational conditions influencing the formation of students’ abilities to educational activities through the specific organization of the process under study (pedagogically correct organization of the educational process of future workers; creating a favorable environment for the educational activities of students); the second group of conditions for motivation of educational activity is focused in the development of students’ needs in self-education and self-improvement; the third group contains the instrumental-technological condition which lies in system-sequential self-improvement; the third group contains the instrumental-technological condition which lies in system-sequential formation of “skills to study” of future qualified workers
