Industrial Partnerships Briefing paper November 2014
The government is currently piloting major changes to the skills system and skills funding in England through the Employer Ownership Pilot. The TUC has expressed support for some key aspects of Round 2 of the Employer Ownership pilot (EOP), in particular the development of new Industrial Partnerships designed to promote an industry-led strategic approach to skills in a sector. These Industrial Partnerships (IPs) are also designed to link in with the priority sectors identified by the government in its national industrial strategy.
