ConstructionSkills and CITB-ConstructionSkills
CITB-ConstructionSkills is an Industry Training Board and has Levy-raising powers
granted through an Act of Parliament. The Levy is viewed by government and industry
as the best way to fund training in the construction industry, and an annual independent
survey is undertaken to assess support for the system.
Established as an SSC in 2003, ConstructionSkills along with CITB-ConstructionSkills
is working to deliver a safe, professional and fully qualified construction workforce
through the industry’s Sector Skills Agreement. They are responsible for raising
employer engagement in training, implementing industry-led skills solutions, securing
appropriate funding, producing labour market data, and developing standards and qualifications
that meet employer needs.
ConstructionSkills is the Sector Skills Council (SSC) for the construction industry.
It is partnership between CITB-ConstructionSkills, CIC and CITB Northern Ireland;
and is UK-wide, representing the whole industry from professional consultancies to
major contractors and SMEs.
ConstructionSkills is a well run and high performing Sector Skills Council, supporting
a sector which is central to the UK economy, generating over 8% of GDP and a turnover
of more than £210bn a year. ConstructionSkills is helping construction employers
during the downturn and working to maintain skills so the industry can respond when
the upturn begins. Learn More about CITB
