Leitch Review of Skills

Skillset warmly welcomes the recommendations of the Leitch Review and its endorsement of Sector Skills Councils and the industry-led approach to tackling skills and training issues.

The independent review, commissioned by Gordon Brown to investigate the changes necessary to meet the skills challenges of the UK economy in 2020, has concluded that audio visual industries should be the driving force behind devising and implementing solutions to skills and education problems via their Sector Skills Council.

Over the last 2 years the review team has been working with a wide range of stakeholders, looking at projected skills needs across all sectors in the UK economy and at what changes are needed in terms of existing provision and policy to prepare for and meet those needs.

The review is particularly concerned with:

  • the social and economic problems caused by the level of adults in the UK without basic skills such as literacy and numeracy;
  • the need for a highly skilled workforce to confront the challenges posed by global markets; and
  • evidence of the UK's relatively poor international position in intermediate level skills.

The Leitch Review of Skills was published on 5 December 2006 - to read it, follow the link below:
