The scheme has been sparked by increasing pressure on training providers to take on rising numbers of workers and also the lack of available training assessors in more remote areas.<\/p>\n<p>Sectors such as asbestos management are currently facing shortages with other sectors likely to face similar problems as the industry grows.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Essential for the industry <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Apprenticeships and NVQ qualifications are very popular in the construction industry owing to its \u2018hands on\u2019 nature and reduced time in the classroom. Though not always essential for employment, NVQ qualifications distinguish individuals and help to raise the standard of work within the industry.<\/p>\n<p>Becoming a training assessor is a popular career move for experienced professionals within the industry who are looking for a change of job, but want to stay within the field. This new investment will allow more people to make the move without having to fund the training themselves and take time off work.<\/p>\n<p>Richard Miller, Assessment &amp; Verification Manager at CITB, commented:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSmall and micro-sized firms have told us they need on-site training assessors to help qualify more construction workers across the UK. The Assessor Infrastructure project will give workers with the right skills and experience the opportunity to become qualified and get the recognition they deserve without being away from the job.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCITB is committed to ensuring the construction industry has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/hr-skills-news\/construction-training-new-qualification\/31505\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">a fully qualified workforce<\/a> that\u2019s competent to build the homes and infrastructure Great Britain needs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Graham Warren, Asbestos Control and Abatement Division (ACAD) Manager at the Thermal Insulation Contractors Association (TICA), commented:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBy our estimates, over 6,500 asbestos operatives and supervisors will require a National Vocational Qualification in the next five years.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div class=\"mk-custom-module-container\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A shortage of training assessors will impact the ability of the next generation of construction workers to be qualified say the CITB<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[285],"tags":[547,596],"stakeholder_rel_tag":[],"contributor_rel_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-32682","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-hr-skills-news","7":"tag-apprenticeship","8":"tag-training"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.9 (Yoast SEO v26.9) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>CITB announce program to fund new wave of assessors<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"A shortage of training assessors will impact the ability of the next generation of construction workers to be qualified say the CITB\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/hr-skills-news\/citb-fund-program-assessors\/32682\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"CITB announce programme to fund new wave of assessors\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"A shortage of training assessors will impact the ability of the next generation of construction workers to be qualified say the CITB\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/hr-skills-news\/citb-fund-program-assessors\/32682\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Planning, Building &amp;
