What we do

Government policy is a primary driver of what we do. A series of skills and economic strategies interlink to shape our work, making sure that our services and partnership activity are meeting the needs of customers and effectively contributing to economic growth ambitions for Scotland. In support of youth employment, we are one of the delivery partners for the Scottish Government's guaranteed offer of a place in education or training for all 16 to 19 year olds through Opportunities for All. 

We work with partners across Scotland to deliver the following key services:

  • My World of Work - our web service which offers the people of Scotland a unique mix of tools, features and job information to help them discover more about themselves and the future world of work
  • Modern Apprenticeships - providing a way for businesses to train new entrants and existing employees to industry-recognised standards
  • Our Skillsforce. Support for employers to recruit, develop and plan a skilled workforce through a dedicated employer team and a skills web service
  • Leading delivery of PACE (Partnership Action for Continuing Employment) support for those dealing with redundancy
  • Supporting individuals to secure and sustain employment through the development of employability and vocational skills through a local delivery model - the Employability Fund
