Alliance of Sector Skills Councils

The role of the alliance

e-skills UK is part of the Alliance of Sector Skills Councils - an employer-driven organisations that, together, articulate the voice of 89% of the UK’s employers on skills issues.

The Alliance is a new organisation (since 1st April 2008) comprising all 25 Sector Skills Councils (SSCs). The full extent of the Alliance's scope will develop over time, but its core purpose is to:

• Promote understanding of the role of SSCs within the skills system across the four home nations
• Co-ordinate policy positions and strategic work on skills with stakeholders across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland
• Help build the performance capability of the Sector Skills Councils, to ensure they continue to work effectively on the employer-driven skills agenda
