The results show that the CITB is important in maintaining skills in the industry and that its programme of change has led to performance improvements.
The review also confirms that the CITB should continue to hold industry training board status, allowing it to set a levy and decide on the skills, needs and standards for the industry.
When questioned about the functions of the CITB, employers felt it was particularly good at attracting entrants to the industry.
Sir Michael Latham, the chairman of the CITB, said: "We welcome this report and are delighted that the review team … has found us to be playing such an important role and to enjoy the confidence of the industry."
