UK Skills consultancy support
UK Skills
UK Skills is a not for profit organisation which champions skills and learning for work through competitions and awards.
UK Skills encourages the development of Skills Competitions in UK as a means of raising skill levels and developing the UK team which competes at WorldSkills, a biannual international skills competition.
