Recent changes to CITB funding have prompted a lot of discussion across the construction industry. For many employers and training providers, those changes raise practical questions about how training is funded, supported, and delivered.
Jimmy Webb speaks with Deb Madden, Executive Director of Engagement and Operations at CITB, to explain the context behind those decisions and how the levy and grant system functions in practice.
Topics discussed include:
- How levy funding is structured and allocated
- Why engagement with CITB has increased and what that has created
- The challenges around skills shortages, new entrants, and FE pathways
- What the funding changes may mean for employers and training providers
This episode of the UK Construction Podcast has been aimed to add clarity and context to a complex issue, supporting a more informed and constructive conversation across the industry.
