Food and Drink Industry - The Skills Pledge

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.

The purpose is to ensure that all employees are skilled, competent and able to make a full contribution to the success of the company/organisation. The Skills Pledge helps employees to develop their literacy and numeracy skills, and work towards relevant, valuable qualifications to at least Level 2 (equivalent to five good GCSEs, A* to C).

The Pledge can be given 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.
