The information services National Training Organisation and PAULO (the NTO
for community learning and development) working on behalf of leading
employers, are pleased to announce a proposal to establish the:
INFORMATION AND LEARNING COMMUNITIES SKILLS COUNCIL (ILCSC)
... as a Sector Skills Council within the Skills for Business network. This
will replace isNTO and PAULO, and embrace some other areas of the workforce.
The main tasks of ILCSC will be to foresee skills needs, to ensure their
timely provision, to oversee occupational standards and qualifications and
to encourage greater investment in workforce development. In short, to
continue our mission of "working towards a skilled and learning workforce".
A descriptive leaflet is being sent now to heads of service, known contacts
and other stakeholders. This leaflet will be posted on the isNTO website -
www.isnto.org.uk - in the next few days. There is a fax back form for your
views - if you get one, please use it.
The support of employers for this proposal is needed now. Anyone wishing to
discuss the proposal may phone or email John Pluse (07977 064413;
[log in to unmask]) or Phil Denning (07753 634879;
[log in to unmask]) at any time.
