At MBO Safety Services, we are proud to support construction employers across the UK in accessing vital training and development opportunities. One of the most impactful initiatives currently available is the CITB Employer Network Scheme—a programme designed to make workforce training more accessible, affordable and tailored to the real needs of the industry.
What Is the CITB Employer Network Scheme?
The CITB Employer Network Scheme is a funding initiative developed by the Construction Industry Training Board (CITB) to help small and medium-sized construction businesses take control of their training needs. Rather than navigating complex grant applications, employers can now access funding directly through a local network, making the process simpler and more responsive.
This scheme is part of CITB’s commitment to reducing barriers to training and ensuring that businesses can upskill their workforce without the usual administrative burden.
Who Is It For?
The scheme is open to construction employers registered with CITB, particularly those who:
- Employ fewer than 250 staff
- Operate within a designated Employer Network area
- Want to invest in training but find traditional funding routes too complex or time-consuming
Whether you are a builder, contractor, or specialist trade business, the Employer Network Scheme is designed to meet your needs.
Why Join the Scheme?
Joining the CITB Employer Network Scheme offers a host of benefits:
- Access to funding for training without the need for grant applications
- Localised support tailored to your business and workforce
- Flexibility to choose the training that suits your operational goals
- Collaboration with other local employers to share best practices and resources
Most importantly, it empowers businesses to take ownership of their training plans while receiving financial support to make it happen.
