The Construction Industry Training Board (CITB) has announced that its consultation with the construction industry on levy proposal options for 2026 – 29 ahead of consensus next year will run from 26 September until 24 October.
During the four-week engagement period, CITB is hosting a series of webinars for employers across Great Britain, providing information on the draft levy proposals and seeking opinions. These sessions are a chance for registered CITB employers to share feedback on the levy proposals options. Feedback from the consultation will inform the development of the final proposals.
Feedback gathered during the consultation will be collated for the levy strategy committee – an independent group of industry representatives and external specialists – which will provide guidance and recommendations to the CITB Board before it submits final levy proposals to the Secretary of State for Education.
Tim Balcon, chief executive of CITB, said: “Consultation is an integral part of CITB’s consensus process for reaching industry agreement on the next three-year levy order. We need the views of employers to help inform our proposals, ensuring that the skills and training we provide meet their requirements and helps deliver the workforce desperately needed to get Britain building again.”
