Summary:The research evaluates the challenges of construction site operatives training in Nigeria with a view to enhancing the performance of construction site operatives. To achieve this aim a convenient sampling technique was used to select the construction companies within the study area and random sampling to select the professional and operatives to be sampled. The sampling frame comprises the professionals in the built environments and site operatives. A total number of 160 questionnaires was administered out of which 142 was returned completed representing 88.75 response rate. Returned data were analyzed with the aid of Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) software version 21.0. The result of the analysis showed that lack of support from government, lack of fund to finance the training, uncertainty of project continuity, high level of corruption among stakeholders, poor motivation and lack of incentive scheme, inadequate vocational centers were among the topmost challenges of construction site operatives training in Oyo State Nigeria. The study concludes that overcoming all this challenges will in no doubt reduce if not totally eradicate poor construction operatives training and as well bring about an improvement in construction operatives performance. It is therefore recommend that Government should provide adequate support both financial and nonfinancial for construction industries so as to aid ease operative training.
