Why do we need the Levy?

High quality training is particularly important in construction, because the workforce moves from project to project. Therefore, ensuring each individual operative has the necessary skills to carry out their job is vital.

The CITB‑ConstructionSkills Levy means that all employers in the industry make the appropriate financial contributions. By sharing this investment across the industry we can maintain a solid skills base.

In return for this investment, the immediate needs of individual employers are met in the form of a skilled workforce. In addition, there are long-term benefits for the whole industry, helping avoid skills shortages and inflationary pay.

Quite simply, training brings about a better quality, better motivated, more efficient workforce.
