The Unit for Future Skills (UFS) has now become part of the shadow body for Skills England. The purpose of the UFS was to provide key insights and data on current and future skills needs, as well as assessments on how current provision is meeting labour demand.<\/p>
As well as producing and updating its online dashboards, the UFS has focused on a broad range of other activity. For example, the UFS provided robust data and insight on local skills use and provision, allowing current and future skills mismatches to be identified at an individual and local level. The UFS has:<\/p>
The UFS worked across government and with wider organisations to improve the foundation of data and the evidence base for decision-makers. Key achievements included:<\/p>
<\/p>
The UFS has also delivered Phase 1 of the UK Standard Skills Classification, which is a common skills framework that will allow a better understanding of skills supply and career pathways.<\/p>
The total cost recorded on the finance system for the 2022/23 financial year was £1.86 million.<\/p>
The main cost within the UFS was its staff. In the 2022/23 financial year, there were about 20 staff members, the majority being analysts.
