Sector Skills Councils
Sector Skills Councils (SSCs) are independent, employer led, UK wide organisations designed to build a skills system that is driven by employer demand.
There are 25 SSCs in total, licensed by the Government through the UK Commission for Employment and Skills (UKCES).The SSCs cover over 90% of the UK workforce representing the skills and training interests of small to large business.
SSCs aim to reduce skills gaps and shortages; improve productivity, business and public service performance; increase opportunities to boost the skills and productivity of everyone in the sector's workforce; and improved learning supply through National Occupational Standards, apprenticeships, and further and higher education.
