CITB launches its Business Plan for 2025-2026

Posted: Thursday, April 17th, 2025

The Construction Industry Training Board (CITB) has launched its Business Plan for 2025 to 2026, outlining the practical steps it will take to support the construction industry in recruiting, training, and retaining a competent and skilled workforce.

The plan aligns with CITB’s recently published Strategic Plan 2025 to 2029, which was developed following extensive consultation with construction employers, training providers, national Governments, and other key stakeholders.

This Business Plan also sets out how CITB will address the skills and training challenges facing the construction industry in 2025 and 2026.

According to the CITB, the key pillars of this plan are to: inspire and enable diverse and skilled people into construction, develop a training and skills system to meet current and future needs, and to support the industry to train, develop, and retain its workforce.

Tim Balcon, CEO at CITB, said: “The success of the British construction industry impacts everyone, and its vital construction employers are well supported with their training and skills needs.

“To thrive, the industry needs the right skills at the right time. Our Strategic Plan 2025-29, which we launched earlier this year, sets out how CITB will support employers to recruit, train, and retain the workforce they need, now and in the future. This Business Plan brings that strategy to life, outlining the practical steps we will take to support employers.

“I am looking forward to delivering this Business Plan, marking the first year of our Strategic Plan, and supporting more employers and workers in gaining the skills they need to drive Britain’s built environment forward."
