CITB Roadshow To Address Skills And Training Needs

Construction News Image
The Construction Industry Training Board (CITB) annual roadshow will arrive in Glasgow and Edinburgh on 24 and 25 March, giving construction employers the opportunity to discuss skills and training needs.

To date more than 900 people have registered to attend one of the 27 events taking place all over the country during March, April and May.

Based on early registration surveys, employers have chosen the topics most important to them which will feature on every roadshow agenda.

These include:

• Grants and funding available for your business

• Apprenticeships

• CITB Levy 2021-23

• CITB update

Feedback from the roadshows that took place last autumn informed the structure of the events, so there will be more time to speak to CITB representatives and other local employers.
