The Learning and Skills Council exists to make England better skilled and more competitive.

We have a single goal: to improve the skills of England’s young people and adults to ensure we have a workforce of world-class standard.

The LSC is responsible for planning and funding high quality education and training for everyone in England other than those in universities.

Our vision is that by 2010, young people and adults in England have knowledge and skills matching the best in the world and are part of a truly competitive workforce. 

The National Skills Academy

National Skills Academies are employer-led, world-class centres of excellence delivering the skills required by each major sector of the economy. The National Skills Academy network will be the new gold standard for industry training, aiming to improve productivity and tackle skills shortages across England. Find out more...
