Abstract	The objectives of the 4-year Laborers-Associated General Contractors (AGC) Business and Education Standards Project are: (1) generate world-class standards for construction craft occupations; (2) develop and promote a certification program for construction craft laborers (this objective was deleted because of negative reaction); (3) promote the standards-setting process and resulting products; (4) attempt to attract construction craft laborers to an industry with a worker shortage; (5) demonstrate to educators how the academic disciplines must be applied at the construction workplace; (6) supply construction employers with workers who possess a known skill component; and (7) provide a clear and easily understood occupational skill description to private industry trainers so they can update and modify their curriculum. The project was accomplished through a coalition that included representatives from construction employers and employer associations, public education, labor unions, and private industry trainers. Skill standards were produced for concrete workers, lead abatement workers, and open-cut pipe-laying workers. Although the objectives of the project were met for the most part, the project concluded that it will take generations to create a culture in the industry that can adopt standards uniformly. (This report includes a third-party evaluation of the project and "A Strategic Plan for Laborers' Training.") (KC)
