Government Skills
Skills are critical to all employers. The Civil Service is no exception. The public rightly expects us to do more with less. To respond, we must use our talents to the full to deliver ever-improving services to the public.
Government Skills, as the Sector Skills Council for central government, has initiated the Skills Strategy, which is its Sector Skills Agreement (SSA). An SSA maps out exactly what skills employers need their workforce to have and how these will be supplied.
Our Skills Strategy plans how central government employers – including those in the Armed Forces and non-departmental public bodies – will step up to meet the skills challenge over the next three years to 2011. It outlines a coherent programme building on work the Professional Skills for Government (PSG) competency framework introduced in 2005.
