Welcome to the UK Commission for Employment and
Skills website
Launched on 1 April 2008, the UK Commission for
Employment and Skills (UKCES) is a key recommendation in Lord
Leitch's 2006 review of skills.
The UK Commission aims to raise UK prosperity and
opportunity by improving employment and skills.
Its ambition is to benefit employers, individuals and government
by advising how improved employment and skills systems can help the
UK become a world-class leader in productivity, in employment and
in having a fair and inclusive society: all this in the context of
a fast-changing global economy.
Because employers, whether in private business or the public
sector, have prime responsibility for the achievement of greater
productivity, the UK Commission will strengthen the employer
voice and provide greater employer influence over the employment
and skills systems.
