Education and training

Education and training information and issues including work-based learning, apprenticeships, vocational qualifications, and further and higher education courses.

IT skills have been prioritised as part of the sector workforce development.

Within the FE and HE sectors high proportions of staff participate in continuing professional development (CPD). The HE sector typically has well managed training and development systems in place for all staff. Overall, this is the case for much of the education sector.

78% of HE institutions have Investor’s in People.

A higher percentage of the post-16 education and training sector workforce has NVQ Level 4 or equivalent compared to all sectors in the UK.
