## Description

A major output of IfATE's commitment to gathering and acting on insights from stakeholders will be the publication of our vision for an integrated skills system, using the insights from The Big Conversation in March 2023\. This report will synthesize insight from stakeholders about all aspects of the Integrated Skills System and set out what we think the skills system should look like in the future and how we'll get there\. The Integrated Skills System is the umbrella term which IfATE uses to describe the elements that make up the skills system, for example range of qualifications; ability to progress through qualifications; consistency of landscape; and ability of qualifications and apprenticeships to support national priorities like increasing productivity and Levelling Up\.
