Despite the number of MSI and the diverse population that they targeted, there is a gap inthe number of higher education degrees obtained by minority students in relation to non-minoritystudents. The root cause(s) of the gap must be determined to take tangible actions to reduce and,ideally, eliminate this obtainment gap. When considering this gap, there is a question of

While this study employed an adequate sample of students, the generalization offindings is not warranted. A larger sample and different situations and conditions make theresearch design more reliable. The next phase of this study will include the recruitment of subjectsfrom various majors and using discerning factors to reveal interdependencies between subgroups.References[1] S. Hershner and R.

skills in the following areasare needed to effectively manage construction projects: teamwork, leadership, communication,conflict management, motivation, and trust building [10] [16].Some of these soft skills are correlated with personality traits in past studies. Using the Big Fivepersonality assessment model, [7] discovered that project managers that had the openness toexperience and conscientiousness traits possess the inborn abilities to be good leaders, do not onlydemonstrate concern for projects but would take corresponding actions to ensure project goals areachieved. [13]’s study compared the personality traits of construction workers using the HEXACOPersonality Model. The study found that field leaders had lower inquisitiveness than
high school female students andcounselors.Furthermore, the study underscores the importance of addressing gender imbalance in CEMprograms and offers actionable insights to promote gender diversity and inclusion in theconstruction industry. By implementing these recommendations, educational institutions canwork towards creating more inclusive and diverse learning environments in CEM education andultimately contribute to a more equitable representation of women in the construction industry.Bibliography1.

The competencies of top-performing site supervisors that aidproject success were investigated and information from the study can be used by employers toassess the performance of their workers and help construction companies devise skill developmentinitiatives to enhance the areas of weakness of their employees.LITERATURE REVIEWRecruiting workers with a specific mix of skills in the construction industry has been a challengeover the year. The different factors contributing to this challenge have been identified in previousresearch and literature. The scarcity of skilled people is one of the major causes of the wideningtalent gap.
