Public appointment competition to recruit 10 board members to the CITB NI.

Economy Minister Gordon Lyons has launched a public appointment competition to recruit 10 board members to the Construction Industry Training Board Northern Ireland (CITB NI).

CITB NI aims to encourage the training of those employed or seeking employment within the Northern Ireland construction industry. It provides training with a wide selection of industry employers and bodies with their own needs and requirements. The board uses combined industry resources to support critical skills and interventions that would not otherwise be available.

Commenting on the recruitment competition and encouraging applications from those with the necessary skills Economy Minister Gordon Lyons said: “The Construction Industry Training Board Northern Ireland has a vital role to play in seeking to influence the provision of training and skills in the construction sector. As our economy continues to recover following the effects of the pandemic successful candidates will play an important part in helping to support the construction sector and sustain our aim of building a modern economy. 

“Supporting our current and future workforce with strong skills and learning opportunities is essential for the long term career development of individuals within the sector.

 “If you have a passion for growing the future of the construction sector in Northern Ireland and have the skills required then please consider applying.’’

Five employer and five employee member posts are available with appointments by 1 July 2022 for an initial three-year term.

Applications are particularly welcomed from women, people with a disability and those from minority ethnic communities as these groups are currently under-represented on public boards across Northern Ireland. A Guaranteed Interview Scheme for applicants with a disability will operate for this competition.

The closing date for applications is 12.00 noon on Friday 4 March 2022.
