Giving Philosophy

CITB operates as an industry training fund rather than a philanthropic foundation. It reinvests levy contributions from construction employers back into the sector through training subsidies, apprenticeship support, and workforce development programs. The organization believes in industry-led solutions to skills shortages, emphasizing practical training pathways and the retention of trade knowledge through programs like tradie2trainer.

Tips for Applicants

CITB is not a grant-making foundation but rather an industry training fund. Construction employers and workers should engage with CITB regarding levy obligations, training subsidies, and workforce development programs. The organization works closely with RTOs, GTOs, industry associations (MBA, HIA, unions), and registered training providers. Focus on demonstrating how programs support construction industry skills development in South Australia.
