Skillset is developing Foundation Degree Frameworks - guidance documents to help universities and colleges develop Foundation Degrees with input from employers and freelancers.

The Frameworks set out industry skills requirements, pointers on what should be covered in the course, information about work-based learning, and the modes of study preferred by employers. For more information about Foundation Degrees and Skillset's Frameworks go to: www.skillset.org/qualifications/foundation
