About the industrial training levy
The ECITB was established to meet the specialist skills needs of the engineering construction industry and to address the market failure in training provision that affects the industry.
The industry carries out work that is project-based and cyclical, which means the demand for skilled employees fluctuates. The workforce is highly mobile and many workers are employed on temporary contracts or through employment agencies. This means that employers see few incentives to train their staff.
The ECITB addresses this market failure through its levy and grant system, which is used to drive up skill levels and incentivise training that would otherwise not take place. We invest more than £28 million every year to enhance skills across the engineering construction industry, support growth through workforce training, and tackle labour shortages and skills gaps.
