Federation for Industry Sector Skills and Standards

The Federation for Industry Sector Skills and Standards (FISSS) represents, promotes and supports the 21 Sector Skills Councils (SSCs) across the UK. SSCs are the employer-led skills organisations covering in total approximately 90% of the UK workforce. They work with over 550,000 employers to define skills needs and skills standards in their industry.  The Federation is the collective voice of SSCs and has the unique role of positioning them effectively in the skills systems across the UK nations.

The network of SSCs provides the employer leadership to address skills needs within and across sectors. Through their sectoral reach, SSCs are ideally placed to articulate the voice of employers on skills, to develop innovative skills solutions and to galvanise employer ambition and investment in skills and job creation.
