What is a Sector Skills Agreement?
In simple terms, a Sector Skills Agreement (SSA) is a deal between employers, training providers and government. Employers lay out what their workforce and skills requirements are now and in the future. In return, the government and providers agree to fund and deliver training tailored to this need, providing employers are also willing to make a commitment.
SummitSkills has been charged to facilitate the agreement which will consist of five stages, but the project is signed up to by everyone who supplies, funds and plans education and training.
