zero waste, is high-impact, highlycollaborative work that requires the partnership of design and construction teams along with allother stakeholders [2]. The project management team must recognize the stakeholders and theirneeds by selecting suitable project delivery methods (PDMs) in order to successfully deliver SIprojects. A project delivery method outlines the roles of the parties involved in the project(typically the owner, contractor, and designer) and the timing of their engagement whenconstructing the facility [3]. Although throughout the 20th century, Design-Bid-Build (DBB)was the most popular delivery method, as the need for quicker project completion and risingproject complexity due to the result of technical advancements grew

To achieve these goals, this study utilized a mixed-methods sequentialexplanatory design to collect and analyze both quantitative and qualitative data from students.The survey included responses from FTIC, transfer, and international students. It did notdifferentiate between them, except to assess time to graduation, since the factors hinderingtimely graduation as well as the motivators and resources that can help them achieve theirgraduation goals and academic success are comparable among all students.The recorded data included a diverse group of students as shown in Figure 4, which included (a)58 males, 16 females, and one student that preferred not to answer; (b) 3 freshmen, 8sophomores, 38

Several researchers have explored this topic previously from a knowledge, skills andattitude (KSA) perspective or a work readiness perspective [1-4]. For example, utilizing anexploratory factor analysis, Ahn et al. [3] have identified four key competencies of constructiongraduates working in American construction companies. These key competencies encompassgeneral, affective, cognitive and technical skills. The emphasis on soft, or more interpersonalskills, suggested in Ahn et al.

[6]explores the disconnect between higher education and its ability to not only produce studentscompetent in technical skills but to close the gap, cultivating the necessary soft skills, resulting instudents that are workforce-ready and positioned to meet industry demands. Defining workreadiness skills can be challenging as it varies greatly depending on the chosen field and thecareer path within that field. Even within the construction industry and among its academiccounterparts no clearly defined program exists detailing which soft skills, when combined withtechnical skills, are required for student success [4]. Despite the challenges, Mahasneh andThabet [3] contend “There is a broad consensus amongst construction academia and industry

Therefore, employers need to recruit skilledworkers and provide targeted training to workers in order to achieve the desired project outcomesand organizational goals. To effectively recruit and train workers, construction companies shouldfirst determine what traits and skills help workers succeed in their jobs, especially constructionproject management jobs.Beyond technical competence, [1] and [14] noted that personality characteristics are essential forthe job performance of construction workers.
