Representing employers

We represent employers in the engineering and manufacturing sector, and related industries, in policy discussions around technical education. We also hear directly from beneficiaries in our EAL Strategy Advisory Group, and work collaboratively with them and organisations such as the Institute for Apprenticeships and Technical Education, Skills Development Scotland, and Qualifications Wales to create and review apprenticeships and standards, qualifications, training programmes and courses.
