Welcome to Skills for Business
 |
Skills for Business is an evolving network of UK wide, employer-led Sector Skills Councils (SSCs) charged with communicating real skills needs to those who supply education and training to the workforce of the UK. The Sector Skills Development Agency (SSDA) funds, supports and regulates the Skills for Business Network.
Sector Skills Councils (SSCs) are independent, UK wide organisations developed by groups of influential employers in industry or business sectors of economic or strategic significance. SSCs actively involve trade unions, professional bodies and other stakeholders in the sector. SSCs are licensed by the Secretary of State for Education and Skills, in consultation with Ministers in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, to tackle the skills and productivity needs of their sector throughout the UK.
SSCs give responsibility to employers to provide leadership for strategic action to meet their sector's skills and business needs. In return they receive substantial public investment and greater dialogue with government departments across the UK. This will enable sector employers to have a far greater impact on policies affecting skills and productivity, and increased influence with education and training partners.
