About Sector Skills Councils
SSCs provide employers with a unique forum to express the skills and productivity needs that are pertinent to their sector. By coming together as SSCs, employers have:
- greater dialogue with government and devolved administration departments across the UK
- greater impact on policies affecting skills and productivity
- increased influence with education and training partners
- substantial public investment.
The SSCs have a lead role in vocational qualifications and in collating and communicating sectoral labour market data as well as raising employer engagement, demand and investment and considering collective measures.
All SSCs are licensed by the Secretary of State for Innovation, Education and Skills, in consultation with Ministers in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland and on the recommendation of the UK Commission for Employment and Skills.
