Sector Groups

Sector groups have been set up for each of the 7 industry sectors. The sector groups will identify areas of curriculum development, employer engagement and marketing, and staff training and development needs.

Sector groups will be a key mechanism for understanding the labour market needs in relation to the higher level skills agenda and identifying specific programmes or bite-sized learning which would benefit from curriculum development.

Membership of the sector groups will include employers, Sector Skills Councils, academic staff from further and higher education, work-based learning providers, 14-19 advisors, Union Learning Representatives, Information, Advice and Guidance Advisors, Train to Gain brokers and wider stakeholders.

Working to an agreed framework plan to ensure a common approach, and drawing on their specialisms and areas of expertise, members will have access to resources to support the development of learning provision which better meets employer needs, by for example, utilising more flexible models of learning, and more work-based assessment and accreditation.
