We offer support to industry through our grants and funds. CITB grants cover day to day training and our funds cover specific projects and commissions.

Grants

Our grants support employers who provide day to day training for their workforce.

Our grants contribute to the cost of training and qualifying your workforce in construction-related subjects across the following three categories:

• Short course grants

• Qualification grants

• Apprenticeships grants

Funds

We provide funding for specific projects relating to careers, innovation and training. If you can provide us with a plan for your training needs, or you have an idea for a project to improve performance for your employees or the industry as a whole, we might be able to help through our funds:

• Skills and Training Fund
  Up to £10K for skills and training for small- or micro-sized employers and up to £25k for medium-sized employers

• Leadership and management development fund
  Funds available for large construction employers (with more than 250 directly employed staff) to improve leadership and management skills.

• Structured fund
  For projects where CITB has identified a need for investment and commissions bids based on a set theme
