UK Commission for Employment and Skills

The UK Commission for Employment and Skills (UKCES) was an organization focused on improving employment and skills in the UK workforce. It aimed to enhance the skills of workers, support economic growth, and address issues like unemployment by providing research, advice, and policy recommendations to the government and employers. UKCES worked to align skills training with the needs of businesses to ensure that individuals had the right capabilities to thrive in the job market. While it was dissolved in 2017, its work remains influential in discussions about workforce development and skills training in the UK.
