CITB

The Construction Industry Training Board (CITB) was established on 21 July 1964 to support the construction sector in England, Scotland, and Wales. As the industry's training board, CITB is dedicated to addressing the skills shortage and ensuring that the construction industry has a workforce that is safe, professional, and fully qualified. CITB plays a crucial role in attracting talent to the construction industry by providing a wide range of training programs and qualifications tailored to meet the evolving needs of the workforce.

CITB operates in partnership with training providers, employers, and government to develop a skilled workforce that meets current and future demands. With a focus on promoting apprenticeships, CITB helps employers recruit young talent and provides essential skills training. The organization also conducts research to assess the skills landscape and forecasts needs, ensuring that training programs are aligned with industry requirements. In addition to training, CITB is committed to fostering inclusivity within the workforce, making it a priority to support underrepresented groups in construction. Through its initiatives and programs, CITB continues to build a better construction industry that can meet the challenges of today's economy.
