The Construction Industry Training Board (CITB) has launched a new network for approved training providers across England, Scotland and Wales.
To join the Training Provider Network (TPN), members must deliver training relevant to employers in the construction industry and meet a quality assurance criteria specific to the type of training they provide.
TPN members will be able to connect directly with employers through initiatives like CITB’s Employer Networks.
Deb Madden, executive director, nations engagement at CITB, said: “Everything we do at CITB is about meeting the skills and training needs of the industry.
“Training providers are vital partners in driving necessary change, which is why we’re launching the Training Provider Network. It will create a platform for training providers to have a stronger voice in shaping the future of construction training.
“The network will also work alongside our well-received Employer Networks initiative so that construction employers have access to a trusted pathway to quality training exactly when and where it’s needed.”
