If you’re a CITB-registered employer, you may be entitled to a wide range of grants to support the cost of training and developing your workforce. Many employers deliver training but never submit a claim, meaning valuable funding goes unused.
FIS is here to help members navigate the CITB system and ensure you access the support available. If you would like advice or hands-on assistance with claiming grants, please contact: Marie Flinter – marieflinter@thefis.org
