About Us

Our future economic success. Our future workforce. Our future businesses. Our future education system. Our future skills. They’re all in our hands. We all know the challenges we face.

But we also know the rewards, best summed up in Lord Leitch’s words: “The prize for our country will be enormous – higher productivity, the creation of wealth and social justice.”

Our future. It’s in our hands, is a new campaign led by the Learning and Skills Council (LSC) in conjunction with the Government and the Sector Skills Development Agency and on behalf of the learning sector. The campaign calls on employers and individuals to take control of their future by investing in skills.

This website provides valuable information on the many recognised sources of skills, training and funding programmes which are available.

The Learning and Skills Council

The LSC exists to make England better skilled and more competitive. We are responsible for planning and funding high-quality vocational education and training for everyone. We have a single goal: to improve the skills of England’s young people and adults to world-class standards. Our vision is that by 2010, young people and adults in England have the knowledge and skills matching the best in the world and are part of a truly competitive workforce. Established in 2001, we work nationally, regionally and locally from a network of offices across the country.
