	Construction Industry Training Board (CITB) director of policy Steve Radley said, “This announcement brings mixed news for construction. The co-investment rate for non-levy payers is lower than expected, at 10%, with the remaining 90% covered by funds raised by the levy. It’s also encouraging to see that smaller firms will be exempt from co-investment if they take on a 16-18 year old apprentice. With more than half of all construction apprentices under the age of 19, this is a win for the industry … But there is still work to do to make sure ensure funding bands reflect the actual costs of training, so that apprenticeships are affordable for companies of all sizes.”		Construction Industry Training Board (CITB) director of policy Steve Radley said, “This announcement brings mixed news for construction.

As a result, valuable forms of training risk being cut back, with quantity put ahead of quality. The May 2017 start date will not give firms sufficient time to prepare, so we urge the Government to delay implementation."
