design (CAD) tools and advanced woodworking machines, as well as a pressing need for
skills and expertise to keep up with these technological improvements. The study also
found weaknesses in the present curriculum, emphasizing its inadequacy in meeting industrial demands. These findings highlight the necessity of integrating technical education with technological improvements to increase worker preparation and stimulate
innovation in the construction industry.
