CITB Announces Management Restructure

Construction News Image
The Construction Industry Training Board (CITB) is restructuring its middle management team, the organisation has announced.

The CITB said the reforms are necessary in order to 'meet the needs of industry'.

It is understood the remodel will impact 112 existing roles and includes cutting staff numbers by 46, with 66 new positions to be created.

CITB revealed not enough employers are benefitting from its funding and support, with many finding the organisation 'too slow and difficult' to deal with.

In 2014, the institution appointed a new CEO and revamped its Executive and Leadership team.

CITB said: "This has set the foundations for the next stage, to reach many more employers through online services, improved phone support, and face to face services via a refocused CITB Advisor role.

"The proposed new Advisor role brings together a range of existing and often overlapping roles to create a CITB one-stop shop for business information and advice on training."

Steve Radley, Director of Policy at CITB, said: "Too often, our engagement with employers has focused on navigating CITB’s processes rather than looking at what they need. This new CITB Advisor role, complemented by online chat, extended phone hours and simpler online processes, mean we will be able to support many more employers with advice and funding.

"These reforms are designed to give the industry maximum return on Levy investment, and a much better service from CITB. Employers will start to see the difference in 2016 and our aim is to have many more construction firms not only engage with us, but get the funding and support they need."
