CITB-ConstructionSkills has set up the Growth Fund to support industry improvement in the three key areas of sustainability, collaborative working and productivity.

Contractors will have a better chance of securing cash if they specialise in areas like modern methods of construction and new markets like nuclear building.

Scott Cooper-Groom, Standards and Qualifications Manager for CITB-ConstructionSkills, said: “We’re delighted to be able to add value to the industry through initiatives such as the £10m Growth Fund, and it represents one of the key ways that we are looking to help develop the right skills for growth, locally and nationally.

“Applications are coming in fast, so it’s important that anyone interested visits the CITB-ConstructionSkills website to download the documentation and gets their bid in as soon as possible.”
