Skills Funding Agency

The Skills Funding Agency (SFA) was a government body in England responsible for funding and overseeing vocational education and training. It aimed to improve skills and employability by allocating funds to colleges, training providers, and employers. The SFA worked to ensure that education and training programs met the needs of the economy and supported individuals in gaining the skills necessary for various careers. Although it has since merged into the Education and Skills Funding Agency (ESFA), its core mission remains focused on enhancing skills development to benefit both individuals and the workforce.
