The NTF Advisory Group was established in line with the recommendations from Indecon in their review of the NTF, that such a Group be established to submit recommendations to the National Skills Council on NTF priorities. This advisory group is a permanent resourced structure to optimise enterprise engagement on NTF priorities. It consists of key stakeholders from a range of employer representatives, agencies and Government Departments.
Indecon also recommended that a structured process be implemented to facilitate NTF-focussed inputs from employers, employees and representative bodies prior to annual expenditure decisions. The NTF Advisory Group is considering how a new method of engaging with enterprise bodies to ensure that there is a focussed and structured input prior to expenditure decisions.
