Skills Council

A Skills Council is an organization that helps oversee and coordinate training and skill development programs within a specific industry or sector. Its role is to identify the skills needed for jobs, develop standards for training, and ensure that workers acquire relevant, high-quality skills. By doing this, Skills Councils aim to improve the workforce's capabilities, increase employment opportunities, and support economic growth through a skilled and adaptable labor market. They often work with employers, training providers, and government agencies to align education with industry needs.
