Work in Progress - Skills for a Modern Economy

Skills are vital for enabling individuals and countries to thrive in an increasingly complex, interconnected and rapidly changing world.  A broad range of government bodies have policy or delivery responsibilities for skills and concerns have been raised that the skills system is lacking a joined-up approach. 

This review will consider:

• The vision and priorities for skills, including the existing arrangements and strategies for skills planning and development in Northern Ireland;
• The various stakeholders and bodies involved; their roles and responsibilities; and the governance, reporting and accountability arrangements; and
• Government’s approach to identifying current and future skills needs and its plans to develop skills.

We aim to publish this report in Summer 2024.
