Benefits of the CITB Employer Network Scheme
A key condition of accessing the 70% - 100% funding and grants for training is that you book direct with a CITB Approved Training Organisation. Book through a broker, even if the delivery is via a CITB ATO, and you will not be eligible. Grants and funding are easy and quick to access, and the RISK team can help you navigate the process. Even if you are a construction company below the wage role threshold, or an individual.
