CITB hits only quarter of targets

摘要

The Construction Industry Training Board (CITB) only delivered on three of its 12 key performance indicators in 2019/20.The organisation's delayed annual report and accounts for the last financial year include results of an employer and stakeholder survey, which informs the performance indicators set by its board. These included a finding that only 26 per cent of the sector sees the CITB as "credible and reputable, adding value to the industry". Just 22 per cent think there is a talent pool sufficient to meet industry needs and only 25 per cent believe funding is commissioned to target priority areas.It hit its performance targets for young people, influencers and educators becoming familiar with its campaigns and careers; increasing apprenticeship starts in construction in England to more than 22,000; and increasing the diversity of sex and ethnicity among apprentices in England.The CITB fell narrowly short of target in three of the other categories.
