That is a pretty broad question because training can apply to so many areas of a company. For example, one aspect of training is teaching workers the skills required to perform the needed work. Many contractors are concerned about that, especially with much of the current workforce nearing retirement age.

Probably the most widespread contractor concern involves safety training. The federal government’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) holds employers responsible for providing a safe workplace and for making sure all employees are trained to recognize hazards, then avoid, control, or eliminate them.

So nearly all employers are concerned about whom they have to train, as well as what kinds of training and how much of each kind is needed in order to meet their legal obligations.
