Lifelong Learning UK (LLUK) is the Sector Skills Council responsible for the professional development of all those working in community learning and development, further education, higher education, libraries, archives and information services, and work based learning. We represent the interests of over one million individuals working in lifelong learning across the UK and we are the voice of employers in this sector on skills issues.
LLUK provides the strategic perspective for workforce planning and development and influences and shapes relevant policy across the four UK nations. We are also responsible for developing the lifelong learning Sector Qualifications Strategy and set standards for occupational competence in the delivery and support of learning.
LLUK also leads the collection of workforce data for the lifelong learning sector and provides analysis on workforce characteristics and trends to better inform future workforce planning. We also work with partners and key stakeholders to improve the dialogue between our employers and those who look to the lifelong learning sector to meet their own skills needs.
