    One of the UK Commission’s key activities is to stimulate employer investment in skills. To do this two funds have been launched: the Growth and Innovation Fund and the Employer Investment Fund. These funds will support employer-led initiatives to increase the contribution skills make to enterprise, jobs and growth. So far we have invested £75m in 89 projects across 20 different employer-led organisations. Our £75m has been matched by £19m of direct employer investment and £38m of employer in-kind support. Summaries of all projects can be seen on the portfolio page.
