CITB pledges to support construction workers in face of Coronavirus

The Construction Industry Training Board has pledged to do all it can to offer coronavirus support to construction workers, apprentices and trainees. The CITB has closed four National Construction Colleges and cancelled spring roadshows. The spring roadshows are being replaced by a series of online webinar alternatives. All training at NCC sites at Bircham Newton, Erith, Inchinnan and Kings Norton ended on Tuesday, with full closure planned for today, allowing time for trainees to arrange to leave. Current and advance-booked courses during the closure can be rescheduled or refunded. CITB is contacting affected learners and employers to make arrangements. As for other colleges across the country, the NCCs will remain closed until further notice.
