The relevance of the study is to emich the built environment cwricuhnn. The resolve of this study
is to examine construction craft skill acquisition in the built environment using a competence based education
approach. This study was carried out through a detailed literature base and questionnaire smvey to elicit data
on construction craft skills acquisition in Nigeria's tertiary institutions. The targeted population comprised
educationist and students in the faculty of environmental science. The study revealed that the students were
mostly interested in acquiring three major craft skills which include painting, tiling and landscaping craft skills.
Acquiring construction craft skills will increase self-employment, increase business opportmrities and increase
employability of the students. In conclusion, major barriers in acquiring construction craft skills in tertiary
institutions are lack of interest from the students and inadequacies in construction cwriculwn to cover the craft
skills. The study developed a construction craft skill's acquisition framework for the built environment
cwricuhnn. It was recommended that the government, National University Commission (NUC) and educators
should integrate construction craft skills acquisition programmes in the built environment cwriculwn. Also, the
National Vocational Qualification Framework (NVQF) policies for training and retraining indigenous artisans
be extended to tertiary institutions to assess and license construction students in specific chosen trained
construction craft skills. It is important to make the craft wage attractive in this quest.
