CITB Employer Network Fund

CITB Employer Network Fund

The CITB Employer Network Fund presents an incredible opportunity for UK construction businesses to boost their workforce’s skills with up to 70% funding for essential training programs. At TUTS Training, we offer a streamlined process to help you leverage this funding and upskill your team effectively. As your Approved Training Organisation (ATO), we will guide you through each step, from identifying your training needs to securing funding and ensuring your team is fully compliant with industry standards.

Who Can Access CITB Employer Network Funding?

To qualify for the CITB Employer Network Fund, your business must meet the following basic criteria:

• Be CITB levy-registered and up to date with your levy payments.
• Appoint a preferred training provider, such as TUTS Training, to ensure your courses are delivered by industry professionals.

This funding allows you to access a wide range of training programs tailored to your workforce needs, including:

• Health and Safety Courses: Ensure your team understands the latest safety regulations and best practices.
• National Vocational Qualifications (NVQs): Provide industry-recognised qualifications to your employees to improve their skills and career prospects.
• Short Courses: Covering immediate, role-specific training needs, from technical skills to operational practices.
• Soft Skills: Such as First Aid, Manual Handling, and Mental Health First Aid, essential for building a resilient and versatile workforce.

Importantly, these courses don’t need to be grant-eligible to qualify for funding, offering greater flexibility to cater to your company’s unique training requirements.

The sign-up process is within 48 hours, whereas other funding schemes like the CITB Skills & Training Fund may take 8-12 weeks for sign-off. This allows your team to be trained and certified quickly, helping you maintain safety and productivity on-site in a timely manner.

Maximising Financial Support

This support helps businesses cover the cost of training at a fraction of the usual expense, enabling you to keep your team compliant and skilled.

• Employers will only be invoiced for 30% of the training costs, while TUTS Training handles the remaining 70%, invoicing the CITB Employer Network directly.
• This funding does not interfere with your existing CITB grant claims or eligibility for the Skills & Training Fund, meaning it is an additional source of financial support, further reducing your training costs.
