Our council

The Nation Councils delivers on a significant call from industry through last year’s Consensus consultation and Government through the ITB Review for CITB’s governance to be more representative of the Industry it serves.

1. Each Nation Council is charged with enhancing the evidence base from which CITB forms and develops its Strategic Plan, to ensure that the Board is cognisant of key industry issues, concepts and opportunities affecting both the individual Nation and the collective Nations.  From this collective evidence base CITB will reflect and prioritise the issues, as appropriate, into the formation and implementation of the Plan for Careers, Standards and Qualifications and Training and Development delivery across the three Nations.
   
   
2. Government guidelines, legislative and regulatory mandates will inform and guide the work of the Nation Councils.
   
   
3. With particular reference to the individual Nation, the Council will: 

• Provide insight into the challenges and opportunities for the Nation it represents;
  
  
• Steer and influence the Board on development and effective delivery of the Strategic Plan encouraging adjustments to delivery to reflect unforeseen events/changes that impact on the Nation/industry more generally;
  
  
• Debate and offer constructive challenge in relation to proposed allocation of resource against competing industry priorities across Great Britain;
  
  
• Provide National perspective on construction skills gaps against agreed forecast needs.
