The Auditor General for Scotland has called on the Scottish Government to take “urgent” action to ensure progress is made on improving how workforce skills are planned and provided.
Stephen Boyle also found that the government has not provided the necessary leadership for joint working with Skills Development Scotland (SDS) and the Scottish Funding Council (SFC).
In 2017, the Scottish Government, SDS and the SFC agreed to work towards skills alignment – a more integrated approach to equipping people with the workforce skills Scotland needs.
