Fee Help

While training is very valuable to your business it does come at a cost. And due to the fact that there are skills shortages in our industry, there are a number of various funding opportunities being offered to the employer and participant.

The following types of training fee help are available

Civil Train SA acknowledges is funding partnerships with CITB and the Government of South Australia:

Civil Train SA Training with funding support from CITBCITB Funding Support

CITB was established under the South Australian Construction Industry Training Fund Act 1993 to support and fund training programs across all three sectors of the building and construction industry (Housing, Commercial and Civil). The CITB invests in training through two main mechanisms:

Entry Level Training Program

This is comprised principally of Apprentice and Trainee Support by way of training incentives paid to employers and apprentices/trainees in a Contract of Training in specified vocations.

An adjunct program is Doorways2Construction, a very successful VET in schools program that was initiated by the CITB ten years ago.  It has been a key factor in reviving interest in construction trades as a career, and has been the source of large numbers of apprentices for the industry.

Current Worker program

This takes the form of training subsidies that reduce the cost of training for “Eligible Workers”. Eligible Workers may apply for, and be issued with, a CITB ID Card which is in effect a “Training Passport” providing the holder with discounted access to more than 600 short courses offered in any one training year, by a network of up to 40 CITB-endorsed Registered Training Organisations.
