Sector Skills Councils

Question
What recent assessment he has made of the effect of the work of the sector skills councils on the skills level of the work force.
Answer

Sector skills councils help raise demand for skills, provide authoritative labour market intelligence and ensure that qualifications meet employer needs. Their annual skills assessment sets out how the skills needs of their sectors are being met, and all SSCs have recently undergone a robust and rigorous relicensing process.
