The Industry Impact Fund is aimed at construction employers looking to make a positive difference to the construction industry by developing solutions to key challenges faced by the workforce across the UK.
The fund launched April 2023 and is the first fund of its kind for CITB. It will pilot a new way of supporting the needs of industry. The fund puts employers in the driving seat when it comes to designing and developing training and skills solutions.
REGIONAL FUNDING
Some regions support construction and the built environment as a priority sector and make further funding available for training - Leeds, Hull and Sheffield City Region all support construction, if a case can be made for specific training, so please contact us if you have training requirements, and we will assist where possible. Roofing companies have benefitted from regional funding to undertake NVQs, Site Safety Plus, and Plant Courses.
