Sector Skills Body Forum appoints vice-chairman
18 Nov 09
Michael Burke, the director of research and development at Skills for Security, has been elected to the post of vice-chairman of the Sector Skills Body Forum.
Sector Skills Bodies (SSBs) are organisations that work to promote skills development in their respective sectors. Unlike Sector Skills Councils, SSBs are not funded by Government and have to be self financing.
These 22 organisations represent five million people in occupations including security. They meet together under the umbrella of the SSB Forum, working to ensure that each sector’s skills and qualifications needs are given due consideration at Government level, and to share information and Best Practice among the group.
Commenting on Mike Burke’s appointment, David Greer – the chief executive at Skills for Security – told SMT Online: “This decision illustrates the increasing influence that the security industry is having, and the growing realisation of the importance of the sector among influential bodies.”
Greer added: “With over half a million people working in the industry, a substantial majority of whom hold vocational qualifications, this appointment will enhance our efforts to gain wider recognition for the importance of the private security industry among the people, companies and institutions of the UK as a whole.”
