Skill Sectors

The Government has set up a network of UK wide Sector Skills Councils (SSCs) in order to improve skills and productivity in industry or business sectors that are recognised by employers. The SSCs brings together employers, trade unions and professional bodies working with government to develop the skills that UK business needs. Each SSC agrees sector priorities and targets with its employers and partners to address four key goals:

  • Reducing skills gaps and shortages
  • Improving productivity, business and public service performance
  • Increasing opportunities to boost the skills and productivity of everyone in the sector's workforce, including action on equal opportunities
  • Improving learning supply, including apprenticeships, higher education and national occupational standards.
