Sector Skills Councils provide good careers pointers
Posted by Gilmour David on 28th January 2008
One of the many things I’ve missed over the past few years has been the set-up of the Sector Skills Development Agency. What I learned today, via Edinburgh Chamber of Commerce’s Education Policy Group, is that their 25 Sector Skills Councils, set up to manage skills within industry sectors, provide a great source of skills information for specific careers.
Examples include:
- Creative and Cultural Skills
- Skillfast UK - for Fashion and Textiles
- SEMTA - for Science, Engineering, Maths and Technologies
In each case I’ve looked at, the web sites include a section for those interested in developing careers in the sector. It’s the sort of thing that could be very useful in helping support course choices.
