For SSCs and standards setting bodies
Sector Skills Councils and standards setting bodies work with employers and partners to develop the Occupational Standards for the industries, sectors and occupations they cover.
Sector Skills Councils and standards setting bodies can use the Directory to find out what other NOS exist in other sectors and occupations when reviewing and developing their own NOS.
SSCs and standards setting bodies develop, maintain and update NOS as the needs of industry change, as work patterns shift, and as new operational practices, legislation and technologies are introduced.
