Science Industry Partnership (SIP)

The members of Science Industry Partnership (SIP) have formed a powerful, collective approach to skills on behalf of the science-based sector. We recognise the urgent and common need to build a skills pipeline to meet our future ambitions for growth competitiveness and innovation.  We provide one central voice to Government to ensure the science sector is heard and understood, particularly in light of a rapidly developing skills policy landscape related to the Industrial Strategy, the apprenticeship levy and the Post 16 Skills Plan.

Our Objectives

• Grow: To have a pipeline of skilled people with the capability, drive and ambition to build a globally competitive science-based sector
• Retain: To support the development of a diverse workforce to acquire the skills it needs to adopt new technologies 
• Attract: To promote STEM careers and improve the understanding of scientific knowledge and skills
