CITB Skills and Training Conference heading to Wales

The Construction Industry Training Board (CITB) is pleased to be hosting its next Skills and Training Conference in Wales on January 23.

Following the success of CITB’s Skills and Training Conferences in Manchester and Scotland in 2024, this one-day event in Cardiff is the latest step in a revitalised engagement programme for employers and training providers from CITB’s Customer Engagement team. CITB’s executive team will be there to meet employers, training providers and other industry stakeholders.

The conference will share key information and updates, discuss challenges, and outline how the construction industry can work towards narrowing the skills gap.

Construction companies and employers can find out more about hot topics like the Building Safety Act and Social Value, while receiving one-to-one support on accessing CITB funding and services, including the new Employer Network initiative.

Training providers, meanwhile, will have the opportunity to hear about the industry’s major opportunities and meet construction companies and industry trade federations.

Julia Stevens, Engagement Director Wales, CITB, said:

“We’re extremely excited to announce that the CITB Skills and Training Conference is heading to Cardiff in January. It’s an excellent opportunity for construction companies to find out more about the training and funding available, and to discuss how we can collectively address the skills gap.

“We’re also looking to engage more training providers in this important conversation, strengthening our network and creating a more robust future for everyone involved."

The Skills and Training Conference Wales will be held at voco St. David's Hotel, Cardiff on Thursday, 23 January 2025.
