The CITB Training Fund Is Gone . . . Will The Skills Gap Increase?
The Clive Holland Show
Tuesday, 23 September 2025 - 24 minutes
Today, we were discussing the plans to reduce the CITB’s Training Fund.For many businesses, the fund is vital to grow their teams and improve their skills. However, the fund is being replaced by short-term training schemes that require employers to pay 30% of the cost! Today, I wanted to discuss the effect this could have on our industry. Is it a good move to upskill the industry as quickly as possible? Or will it just increase the skills gap and result in substandard work? We spoke to Deb Madden from CITB and Yorkshire Independent Roof Training Group (YIRTG) Officer, Denise Cherry, to hear their views.Plus, there's the pub lunch quiz and you’ll hear all the best messages we received.Catch Clive On Fix Radio Monday - Thursday 12 PM - 3 PM Across The UK On DAB Radio And Online At https://www.fixradio.co.uk/
