What is the CITB Employer Network Fund?
The CITB Employer Network Fund, established by the Construction Industry Training Board (CITB), aims to make training and funding more accessible for construction employers. Through this program, eligible businesses could claim 50% off the cost of a non-first aid training course, with the employer contributing the outstanding balance. This funding helps companies upskill their workforce while maintaining industry compliance.
St John Ambulance is available for you to choose as your trusted training provider. Ask for us by name when you speak to your CITB Adviser about training.
