Introduction

"This year we set out to respond to feedback we received from the last Consensus and the unique workforce circumstances surrounding construction.

Firstly, we empowered employers by giving them a greater say on skills and training, both in how it’s delivered and where. We felt this was a really important step to form a more collaborative approach to addressing the skills challenges; needless to say, all our employer-led committees have demonstrated an enthusiasm to support these changes.

I am extremely grateful for the contribution employers make to our committees. Our committees have been instrumental in setting the agenda for skills and ensuring our initiatives truly respond to employers’ needs.

New initiatives, such as the Employer Network pilot, which allows employers to determine how CITB funding can be best used in their area, are the start of this new dawn. NEST is a further example of CITB making training easier to access. Both are being warmly embraced by our customers.

We achieved some fantastic things together this year. 26,200 apprentices, the future of construction, were supported by almost £61.5m of CITB funding – 14% more than last year. Our Skills and Training Fund helped more than 2,100 SMEs – the bedrock of our industry – to upskill their workforce.

Our comprehensive short course grant scheme supported over 173,000 learners to complete their qualifications. And Go Construct, the home of construction careers information, saw a record 1.3 million visits to the site."  Tim Balcon, Chief Executive CITB.
