The skills pledge is a voluntary public commitment by the leadership of a company or organisation to support all its employees to develop their basic skills, including literacy and numeracy and to work towards relevant valuable qualifications to at least Level 2 (equivalent to 5 good GCSEs), ensuring that all staff are skilled, competent and able to make a full contribution to the success of the company/organisation.

The Pledge can be made by the Chief Executive, Chief Operating Officer, Owner/Manager or other Board member, on behalf of the organisation.  It is a corporate commitment covering the whole company/organisation.  For those employees who DO NOT already have a full Level 2 qualification, the Government will provide funding to help them gain basic literacy and numeracy skills as well as their first full Level 2 qualification.

The Skills Pledge is open to all employers of all sizes in the private, public and voluntary sector.
