Employer ownership of skills: Securing a sustainable partnership for the long term
This paper sets out the UK Commission for Employment and Skills' (UKCES) vision for what employer ownership means and how it has the potential to transform skills in England. It outlines why skills matter, the current system, five principles for reform, proposals, benefits and a call to action to employers to come forward with their own propositions for how to step up and take responsibility for employer-based training such as apprenticeships.
The five principles for reform are:
1. Employers should have the space to own the skills agenda.
2. There should be a single market for skills development.
3. Skill solutions should be designed by employer-led partnerships to reach more people and businesses.
4. Public contributions for vocational training should move to employer incentives and investments.
5. Transactions should be transparent.
