We are delighted to celebrate the launch of the UK Standard Skills Classification and UK Skills Explorer tool.

The UK Standard Skills Classification (SSC) provides the most detailed, data-driven picture yet of the UK labour market. It allows employers, training providers and job seekers to confidently identify needs and plan provision using a simple, common language.

At today’s stakeholder launch, funded by the Institute of Employment Research, the team described the development of the Skills Explorer tool and the ambition to create a skills system that will be much easier to understand and engage with.

Peter Elias CBE said: ‘For the first time in the UK we now have a common and comprehensive language via which we can talk about skills and exchange data and information. Given that occupational skills are continually evolving we are providing a classification which is both flexible and robust.’
