Government Skills

Welcome to Government Skills – the Sector Skills Council for central government

Our goal is to improve the delivery of public services to customers, by building the skills of people working in government departments, non-departmental public bodies and the Armed Forces across the United Kingdom.

We work with central government employers to identify the common skills needs they face. We bring the right people together – training providers, educational bodies, employers themselves – to deliver programmes which meet needs employers cannot easily or cost-effectively meet on their own.
