About Essex Construction Training Association
How we are run
There are 3 Directors, who form the Management Committee and a Group Training Officer, who is responsible for the every day running of the Association. The Grant from CITB/CS helps cover the running costs so that we can organise training for you, at the most economical rates.
The grant comes with a number of Key Performance Indicators that we have to achieve, in order for the payment to continue. These revolve around areas such as:
- Providing an average number of days training per member
- Members having an average number of Apprentices
- Having a proportion of members with, or working towards, Investors in People
- Number of members using a CITB Training Plan
Members' views are sought on what training they might require and an annual training plan is published by us (see Courses). Members will obtain far better rates than non-members and with an annual subscription of only £25, it is worth joining, even if you only use us for two places in a year.
Our Vision for the Future
We are the first stop for our members across Essex as a resource for advice, quality training, updates on legislation, knowledge of best practice, signposting, networking and as a forum for discussion. By achieving this, we are an ambassador for promoting a fully skilled and safe construction industry.
Our Mission
We will:
- Deliver high quality, flexible training at the lowest possible cost
- Provide the training that members require
- Keep our members updated on current legislation and best practice
- Be an access point for advice on all aspects of training
- Organise networking opportunities, discussion forums and seminars
