To meet this challenge, Bill Rammell MP, Minister of State for Lifelong Learning, Further and Higher Education (DIUS) has launched a strategy to investigate the higher level skills that Britain demands. The strategy has recognised the central role of the sector skills councils (SSCs) in driving this demand.
