Work and Pensions Committee: The work of Skills England
Committee hears from witnesses
The Work and Pensions Committee will hold an oral evidence session to scrutinise the work and effectiveness of Skills England, the government body responsible for coordinating skills development and training across the country. This inquiry examines how Skills England is delivering on its mandate to improve workforce skills and support economic growth.
Skills England is central to the government's plans to boost productivity and address skills shortages in the labour market. This scrutiny will assess whether the organisation is effectively joining up education, training, and employment policy—affecting millions of workers, employers, and job-seekers across the country.
