CITB SUBSIDIES


CITB SUBSIDIES

The Construction Industry Training Board (CITB) is a whole-of-industry led organisation that provides support to attract, train and retain South Australian building and construction workers by providing leadership in training and skills development.

The CITB:

  • Provides access to subsidised training for apprentices, their employers and workers in the industry;
  • Promotes and supports careers in construction;
  • Advises the SA Government on industry training;
  • Supports training, innovation, research and planning;
  • Attracts our future workforce through vocational training in schools by supporting the doorways2construction™ program.

Short Course Training:

The objective of CITB’s Short Course Training program is to raise the level of skill in the construction industry workforce by engaging Eligible Persons in training and skill development activities. CITB facilitates training opportunities and endeavours to ensure that CITB funded training meets both quality standards and industry requirements.

Each financial year, Eligible Persons with an approved CITB number can obtain up to $3,000 of training subsidies off any CITB endorsed short course, with a CITB endorsed training provider.

To obtain the short course subsidises, an approved CITB number must be provided to the training provider upon enrolment.

This ID number must be quoted when you book on to any of our courses. Please note that the CITB makes the decision as to who will be approved. The CITC has no jurisdiction in this matter.

If you are an employer in the Construction Industry, we recommend that you ensure that all new employees are registered with the CITB and have an eligible worker ID number when they commence work with you.
