CITB to slash 110 staff as levy income drops

CITB has opened formal consultations with staff to make up to 110 redundancies.

It aims to reduce the organisation’s payroll bill by 17%, saving £4.5m per year as levy income is predicted to fall because of the impact of Covid-19.

CITB suspended levy collection as a result of the pandemic and will halve next year’s payment – a reduction of £242m in levy income over three years.

The sweeping staff cuts will allow CITB to focus its expenditure on directly supporting construction employers with their key skills, training and apprenticeships needs.

The CITB said targetted cuts would protect front-line services to construction employers, with a proportionately greater reduction in back-office and management roles.

Its redundancy programme will be cost-neutral in 2020/21 if CITB implements proposed change to its pay off policy.

CITB aims to implement the proposed changes by the end of 2020 and to continue to deliver it’s 2020/21 business plan, the Skills Stability Plan. It will launch a four-year strategic plan, covering 2021-25 in late September.
