15 November 2011
The levy system run by CITB – ConstructionSkills was given approval by a two thirds majority with 69% of employers giving it the “thumbs up” in terms of effectiveness.
The positive vote came after extensive consultation with employers and industry federations around levy, grants and funding issues. CITB – ConstructionSkills said that it wants to step up its engagement with industry around key issues to understand the concerns of the industry and adopt solutions to support the development of skills and training for economic growth, both nationally and locally.
The three year levy order will be passed through parliament for official approval in early 2012.
