The Scaffolding Association is calling on employers and stakeholders in the scaffolding and construction industries to participate in the upcoming CITB Consensus Consultation.

This important process will allow businesses to influence CITB’s levy proposals for 2025 to 2027, helping shape the sector’s future of training and skills development.

The CITB levy is key in funding vital training programs for new and experienced workers, ensuring the industry has the skills it needs to thrive. As part of the consultation, businesses will be asked to share their views on whether the proposed levy rates are fair and if CITB’s work is delivering value to the industry.

Recognising the importance of this moment, the Scaffolding Association is encouraging employers of all sizes to take part. With challenges like skills shortages, new technologies, and changing safety regulations, it’s critical that the levy reflects the modern needs of the construction sector.

Robert Candy, Chief Executive of the Scaffolding Association, highlighted the significance of the consultation: “This is a rare chance for scaffolding and construction businesses to directly impact the future of skills training. By getting involved, employers can make sure their needs are met and that the levy continues to support our industry. I strongly urge all businesses, large or small, to have their say.”

The consultation kicks off on September 26, 2024, and runs until October 24, 2024. Employers are encouraged to visit the CITB website to take part and ensure their voices are heard.

By engaging in the process, the scaffolding industry can help create a better-trained, safer workforce, securing its future growth.
