CITB has launched a new initiative to help plug the growing skills gap in the construction industry. The Construction Skills Fund supports the development of construction on-site training hubs. The aim of the hubs is to help train long-term unemployed and people who are looking to make a career change into the construction industry.
The fund is part of the government’s National Retraining Scheme in England. This scheme aims to support innovative ways of training new entrants and retraining adults in areas for which public funding is not available.

The Construction Skills Fund is provided by the Department for Education (DfE), and administered and implemented by CITB.
If you are a local Construction Skills Training provider or large local construction firm and interested in being part of the fund, please contact economyteam@adur-worthing.gov.uk
