CITB Funding

Maximise your training impact with CITB grants.

What Is CITB Funding?

CITB funding supports construction employers in developing skilled, resilient workforces. The Construction Industry Training Board (CITB) offers financial assistance through the Skills and Training Fund, enabling registered employers to invest in high-quality training. Whether it’s apprenticeships, technical skills, or leadership development, grants are tailored to business size and needs. From construction-specific qualifications to leadership and management training, the grants enable businesses to grow, improve efficiency, and remain resilient in a competitive sector.
