The Construction Industry Training Board (CITB) was established under
the South Australian Construction Industry Training Fund Act 1993 to implement
training programs across all three sectors of the building and construction
industry (Housing, Commercial and Civil). Funds for this training are
paid in the form of a levy by "Project Owners" (generally the main builder
or contractor or the owner builder).
The CITB's responsibilities include:
- management and administration of the Construction Industry Training
Fund and the South Australian Construction Industry Training Advisory
Body;
- to act as a principal adviser to the Minister for Employment, Training
and Further Education and the Minister of Employment, Education and
Training for the Commonwealth on training related matters for the
Building and Construction Industry in South Australia;
- preparation of training plans;
- co-ordination of training and review and evaluation of employment
related training programmes.
The CITB collects revenue by way of a levy of 0.25 percent of the value
of building and construction work. This revenue is invested back into
the industry in the form of expenditure on training.
Properly structured training programs are vital if South Australia is
to maintain a skilled workforce with high standards, and be internationally
competitive in the construction industry.
CITB-managed or funded training is designed by the industry for the industry.
Training takes place in metropolitan and regional areas, is relevant and
tailored to the needs of specific sectors.
