Performance reporting
Overview
Published every quarter, CITB's performance reports aim to provide an overview of where the industry’s Levy is invested and what impact it has had, allowing you to track our progress against our business plan. Whilst the main purpose is to keep you informed, we also hope that this will help you, help us, when you feedback how and where you think the industry’s Levy should be invested.
Quarter 4: April 2023 to March 2024
This performance report tracks our progress against targets set out in our business plan, and how we’re supporting the construction industry to have a skilled, competent and inclusive workforce, now and in the future.
Our role is to:
- Inform and enable the right people into construction
- Develop a training & skills system to meet current and future needs
- Support the industry to train and develop its workforce

Some highlights from this quarter are:
Aim: 4% increase in the number of people accessing CITB careers support
Progress: above target at 12%
Go Construct site visitors increased by 12% with the number of outbound clicks up 75%, visitors to apprenticeship pages up 324% and clicks through to TalentView Construction, the home of construction industry job vacancies up 158%.
The increase in visitors to Go Construct shows that more people have a desire to understand more about the industry and are considering entering construction. SkillBuild, the largest multi-trade skills competition in the UK has seen 584 apprentices apply to take part compared to 450 last year, and 4% more applicants from diverse backgrounds.
Aim: 5% increase in CITB training support accessed by employers
Progress: above target at 12%
We are seeing increases in employers supported by grant, funding, NCC, Training Groups and the Employer Network. This demonstrates that employers are continuing to increase investment in training. Through the Employer Network we saw 783 employers supported compared to 246 (part year Aug 2023 to Mar 2024) last year, and 1,029 in total.
Aim: 7% increase in individuals supported into employment from FE
Progress: above target at 20%
Our apprenticeship grants supported 29,428 apprentices, compared to 26,200 this time last year. Furthermore, apprenticeship grant achievement spend is up against budget by 15%.
Our recently expanded New Entrant Support Team (NEST) helped over 2,340 people start an apprenticeship compared to 386 last year. The increase in starts signals that new entrants have access to skills and longer-term opportunities that will enhance their understanding of the construction industry and improve their employability. These new entrants are also being supported to help fill skills gaps and shortages in the industry.
