Skills England | How the Gov's new L&D plan could transform UK workforce development

In July, the Prime Minister and Education Secretary announced the launch of Skills England, a new public training body, to bring together what was described as a “fractured skills landscape” and create “a shared national ambition to boost the nation’s skills.”

Skills England, Keir Starmer said, is set to bring together central and local government, businesses, training providers and unions to meet the skills needs of the next decade across all regions, providing strategic oversight of the post-16 skills system aligned to the Government’s Industrial Strategy.
