Skills Funding Agency


Skills Funding AgencyBIS is transforming the skills system with the creation of the Skills Funding Agency which, from April 2010, has become the single funding provider for adult skills in England outside of higher education.

The Skills Funding Agency's main function is to direct funding quickly and efficiently to further education colleges and other skills providers. It takes an activist approach to deliver the skills that employers and individuals need now and in the future, supporting skills development in areas of strategic importance to the economy.
