Talent and Skills Partners
A gateway to a connected community
Developed by Innovate UK as part of Talent & Skills Connect (TaSC), the directory brings together partners from across the innovation ecosystem who are actively working to reduce fragmentation, improve access, and foster collaboration in the skills landscape.
Innovate UK is committed to developing a strong and sustainable pipeline of innovation talent and skills. As a convener in the ecosystem, we bring together partners who can contribute to this goal, making it easier for innovative businesses to navigate and access the talent and skills needed to succeed.
This directory is more than a list – it’s a gateway to a connected community of education providers, employers, training bodies and skills support. The directory highlights each partner’s contributions – showcasing their resources and enabling businesses to discover and engage with organisations that align with their talent and skills needs.
