Energy & Utility Skills has announced that its CITB funding for training courses has been extended to the end of 2024.
Energy & Utility Skills partnered with CITB in July 2023 and introduced a 12-month initiative that revolutionised the funding of training courses for CITB registered employers in the sector. With favourable reviews from employers across the sector, this initiative has been extended to the end of December 2024. The partnership provides access to a growing number of eligible courses, currently over 30, for CITB funding. So far, the funding has seen considerable success in supporting the specific needs of employers as well as benefiting the sector by providing training in leadership and management.
Stephen Barrett, Director of Membership & Strategic Engagement, Energy & Utility Skills, said:
“This collaborative initiative emerged from the collective aspiration of CITB registered Energy & Utility Skills member organisations to optimise the utilisation of the industrial training levy in addressing their specific organisational and industry-related skill needs.
“Additional funding is available until the end of the year so if you are a CITB registered employer within the energy and utilities sector please contact us now to find out more.”
CITB registered employers in the sector will be able to apply to Energy & Utility Skills for funding to upskill their employees until December 2024.
