CITB Grants
CITB provides grants for construction industry employers who provide training for their workforce. The Grants Scheme helps the industry maintain high standards, making sure people are being trained in the right skills for the industry to thrive.
Grants are paid upon completion of a qualification.
OVERVIEW
Who is eligible for a CITB grant?
All employers registered with CITB can apply for a grant.
Grants are available to employers of all sizes, whether or not you pay a levy to CITB. This means that if your company is registered with CITB but is eligible for the Small Business Levy Exemption, you can still receive grants.
You must be up to date with your Levy Returns before making your application. This rule applies to all employers seeking grants for their employees.
