In this paper, the current situation of the construction management was investigated through bird’s-eye of university and related organization in Japan and abroad by way of mainly syllabus forms for the purpose of ‘a human resource development cultivating contract management ability for “civil engineers” in Japanese construction companies who are working in Japan but will be working in foreign construction projects’. As a result, it was confirmed that there were few universities in Japan teach exhaustive construction education.
Furthermore, a survey with respect to necessity and demand on OFF-JT EDUCATION PROGRAM in Japanese construction companies to improve contract management ability was conducted for practitioners. As a result, it was confirmed that necessity on exhaustive construction education was strongly recognized, but with respect to education hours, opinions were sharply divided.
Based on above results, an OFF-JT EDUCATION TENTATIVE PROGRAM to cultivate contract management ability was proposed.
