A national training provider has become the latest to be awarded funding as part of the Engineering Construction Industry Training Board’s (ECITB) £1 million investment in Regional Skills Hubs. The ECITB has awarded 3t | Training Services £200,000 to help it build three mobile units which will be used to deliver training across the engineering construction industry (ECI). Aberdeen-headquartered 3t has training centres located across the UK and says the units will be a vital resource to provide training for workers on major ECI projects in areas where there is insufficient training provision. The ECITB-approved training provider is co-funding the project with £160,000 to build the units and an additional £120,000 a year towards running costs.] The co-investment will create the capacity to deliver hundreds of new entrants to industry, with the units delivering ECITB-approved courses in mechanical fitting, pipefitting and plating to ECI employers across the UK. https://lnkd.in/ezM3MR_F #construction #build #design #architects #news #PR #magazine #advertising #b2b #bannerads #magazine #newsletter #emailcampaigns #engineering #manufacturing #automatio

Government Publishes Industrial Training Board Review Report The Department for Education today published the Government’s response to the ITB Review, which was conducted by Mark Farmer in 2023 and finalised last year.  The report stresses the vital need for the work of the Industrial Training Boards (ITBs) within the construction and engineering construction industries and concludes that the ITB levy-grant model should be retained. Indeed, it states that the role of the ITBs should be strengthened and calls on them to do more.  It reinforces that both the ECITB and CITB exist to meet the industries’ specialist skills needs. The ITBs are needed to address the market failure in training provision, driving up skill levels and incentivising training that would otherwise not take place.   The Minister of State for Skills, The Rt Hon Baroness Smith of Malvern, supported many of the recommendations laid out in the report including that the ITB model should be retained.   Among the 17 strategic recommendations, the review proposes that the CITB and ECITB should form a single body. The Government’s position is that while there are significant benefits to greater alignment and collaboration between the two ITBs, there are currently no plans to legislate to create a single body. A steering group will be set up to consider the implementation of all recommendations. In the meantime, the Minister has requested greater collaboration between the ECITB and CITB on specific areas such as infrastructure across Great Britain, increasing trainers, clean energy jobs and skills passporting. Work is already underway to develop joint action in these areas. Andrew Hockey, CEO of the ECITB, said: “The report highlights the value that both the ECITB and CITB make to our respective industries. It cites the ECITB’s work on Connected Competence, our programmes to grow new entrants and our Regional Skills Hub initiative as good examples of what needs to be done, and what can be scaled up...

The below instructions allow you to access a online training program set up by Service Stream and Urban e Learning as part of an enforceable undertaking. Completing this course is just an intro to help those in the construction industry. Most courses around CoR are based on "transport" and not other industries so a PCBU needs to review how to give their team members at different levels adequate training. CoR and the HVNL effects anyone making use of logistics operations so consider what you think is practical and reasonable.
