About UKSP:

World Class Skills

Fast evolving economics, pandemics and changing demographics have created a strong demand for technical and vocational education and training across the globe.

This growth is driven by strong demand from Governments, industry and individuals for “world class skills” that are industry focused and which provide a framework for improving performance and competitiveness internationally.

The UK’s approach

The UK is renowned for having a long established, high quality TVET and apprenticeship model and is seen as a front runner in its approach to sectoral skills development.

The continued evolution of the UK TVET system provides unparalleled expertise and an opportunity to export this capability overseas.

UKSP TVET Skills Offer

The UK Skills Partnership (UKSP) partners collaborate on international business development and project delivery by presenting a comprehensive and coordinated technical and vocational skills offer that is tailored and contextualised to meet the needs of international clients.

Recognising that every country has different unique economy, the UKSP support package and expertise ensures that delivery is localised, whilst benefiting from a global approach.

Long Term Opportunities

The strength of the UK TVET export proposition is generating long-term, sustainable opportunities for the UK skills sector, supporting the aim shared by the UK Government to position the UK as the TVET partner of choice globally.

Whether fully commercially funded or with donor funded support, the UKSP members are able to deploy capability and capacity at scale in order to achieve skills ambitions.
