Sector Skills Agreement

Thursday, 20, Nov 2008 11:47

A Sector Skills Agreement is an effective assessment of skills needs and priorities within the Justice sector. It identifies and articulates the sector's future workforce and skill needs so that employers, learning providers and Skills for Justice can take appropriate action to address them.

It is intended to provide a means whereby employers and employees in the Justice sector can identify skills and productivity needs, the action they will take to meet those needs, and how they will collaborate with providers of training and skills so that skills demand can directly shape the nature of supply.

This framework will allow all parties to agree what actions will be collectively taken to meet the identified priorities by providing strategic employer leadership, putting in place a mechanism for identifying shared objectives and contributions between employers and agencies and establishing a clear set of accountable actions.
