The National Skills Forum is a not-for-profit membership organisation which works in partnership with the Associate Parliamentary Skills Group (APSG) and the Skills Commission to raise the profile and status of skills in the UK. We bring together Parliament, business and the skills sector to promote and develop effective skills policy as a central means of personal and economic development for the 21st Century.
