Engineering Projects Resourcing & Skills Forum by the ECITB

Posted on 13 April 2026

22nd April, 09:00 – 12:30

Redcar and Cleveland College

Join the ECITB to hear from projects in the region, as well as a discussion with DWP about the proposed ECITB/CITB merger.

This event is designed to provide real value to attendees. We have a substantial agenda with information shared from a number of stakeholders.

Attendees will hear from industry leaders, briefing on the projects happening in the near and long term. This is designed to help raise awareness of the resourcing requirements and possible barriers. Following this we will hear from training providers with their solutions to the barriers and from the Tees Valley Combined Authority who will share case studies and examples of previous skills support provided.

We are delighted to welcome the Dept of Work and Pensions to the event too. The DWP and the ECITB Senior Leadership will be presenting the consultation on the proposed ECITB/CITB merger. This presents an opportunity for industry to engage directly with the DWP and pose any questions they might have.
