CITB Skills and Training Fund
The CITB Skills and Training Fund is an incentive aimed at micro, small and medium sized construction companies (less than 250 employees) to encourage them to train employees using construction industry training board courses, which align with the CITB grant scheme and any other related construction courses and NVQs.
