Sector Skills Councils

• About 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 currently 25 SSCs covering over 90% of the economy.
• SSC Relicensing - The UK Commission is responsible for the relicensing process for the 25 Sector Skills Councils (SSCs).  Each SSC is an employer-led, independent organisation that covers a specific sector across the UK.

Evidence emerging from SSAs

It is a critical requirement of the programme that it is firmly based on the aggregate output of the emerging SSAs. We believe that this will give the work the authenticity of being truly the 'voice of the employer' and 'demand led' based on a major piece of research with our employers.

Of course SSCs are free to pursue sector specific solutions to M&L independently through their SSA. But is envisaged that our programme will address the aggregate M&L requirements coming from the SSAs while capitalising on the best and most relevant of the work that has been done so far. We believe that this will endow the programme with the combined weight of all 25 SSCs and allow us a much stronger voice..
