At a time when many programmes have been paused, CITB has maintained its support for a nationwide network of local and specialist Training Groups, so that employers who are Training Group members can access the local training they need.

However, CITB need to look at costs given the significant reduced levy income for the foreseeable future.  At the same time, they need to consider what are the most effective ways to help companies access training at a local level, while ensuring value for money and quality of provision.

On Wednesday 11 November 2020, CITB launched an industry wide consultation on how best to provide support in future.  This will help them understand the biggest benefits of Training Groups to employers and gather thoughts on the options CITB are presenting.

You can find the full options paper and the survey on the CITB website.  If you need more information, please contact the CITB Partnership Team or give George a call.
