The case for Skills England
Skills England is intended to bring about a clearer, more data-driven, more joined-up and more responsive skills system, to help deliver a more productive workforce. It is a key element of the Government’s missions to drive growth and improve access to opportunities.
	This Act therefore makes the necessary legislative changes as relates to apprenticeships and technical qualifications, as part of the broader plan for Skills England (the remainder of which is not reliant on this Act). The Act is a necessary condition for delivering on the Government’s manifesto commitment to establish Skills England as a vehicle for driving growth and opportunity.
