At the core of an SSCs role is specifying the nature of the skills that an industry sector needs. Only those working successfully in a certain industry, and who are exposed to the competitive pressure of domestic and international markets, together with the regulations experienced by firms in the sector, can give a true up-to-date account of what skills are needed in the workforce. Therefore training quality and standards are central to the work of any SSC. SSCs may also undertake other functions in the area of skills training, education and workforce development.
