Many of those employed in colleges, training providers and the employers of apprentices also dedicate personal time and resources to supporting students ahead of the competitions.

CITB NI are now preparing our sponsorship arrangements and we are open to support and sponsorship. The sponsorship is used for materials (including donated materials) and it covers costs of trophies, medals or prizes and is also used for branded t-shirts where not provided by CITB (GB).
