CITB-ConstructionSkills Northern Ireland

The new name for the Construction Industry Training Board.

Who are CITB-ConstructionSkills Northern Ireland?

We represent the amalgamated operations of the Construction Industry Training Board (CITB) and the Sector Skills Council for construction, ConstructionSkills in Northern Ireland.

The CITB has undergone significant change in the last 12 months. Following a full internal review of CITB’s strategy in 2008, the external review of CITB was published by the Department for Employment and Learning (DEL) in July 2009.
We are now a leaner and more responsive organisation.

What is the role of CITB-ConstructionSkills Northern Ireland?

Our role is to encourage the adequate training of those employed or intending to be employed in the construction industry and to improve the skills and productivity of the industry, to deliver a safe, professional and fully qualified workforce across the whole of the construction industry in Northern Ireland.

Our aims are to:

• Understand and meet the training needs of the industry
• Value learning as the key tool for improving productivity
• Maximise our income from sources other than levy
• Improve accessibility of grants and services to the industry
• Maximise the proportion of levy returned to the industry in grants and services
• Seek out better ways of doing business and open up to new ideas
• Become the recognised endorsement for construction training courses
• Exceed the expectations of our customers.
