ABSTRACT
The demand for infrastructure is rising, and green construction is gaining prominence, thereby increasing the need for green skills among construction operatives. However, a lack of focus on specific green skills has created barriers to designing effective training methods and certification standards for operatives. Therefore, green skills and training methods were reviewed using the PRISMA framework. A total of 69 articles from 2000 to 2024 were obtained after screening on the Web of Science and Scopus databases. These were further screened to eliminate duplicates and articles that were irrelevant or ineligible. Eight articles were selected and analysed. Specific themes on green skills and training methods were analysed using NVivo. The SLR highlights specific sustainability-related green skills themes and organisational and systems thinking-related green skills. On-the-job and off-the-job training methods were revealed. Recommendations include contextualising training. Future studies should develop a framework for enhancing green skills training and certification among operatives.
