Skills England

Keir Starmer stated:

 “Skills England will jumpstart young people’s careers and galvanise local economies. It will bring businesses together with trade unions, mayors, universities, colleges and training providers to give us a complete picture of skills gaps nationwide, boost growth in all corners of the country and give people the opportunity to get on in life.”

Key steps they will be taking:

1. 1. Assessing future skills needs
   2. Building strong relationships with employers
   3. Transfer IfATE functions into Skills England
   4. Develop and own a list of levy-eligible training, aligned with real skills needs, and ensuring value for money
   5. Provide a comprehensive strategy for post16 education to break down barriers to opportunity, develop a future-ready skilled workforce, and drive economic growth

We believe a change of mindset is needed. Reskilling across your workforce from all areas represents the winning way forward.

With a cross-functional approach, and injections of talent into emerging areas, we can help businesses to:

• • Undercut the competitive technical talent market
  • Save on hiring costs by ‘growing your own’
  • Create further opportunities, stronger career paths, greater employee satisfaction and loyalty within your business
  • Gain the advantage of forward-edge technical talent to innovate and move ahead of your competition
  • Contribute to a strengthened UK economy and a skilled future-ready workforce both at regional levels and on the national (even international) stage
