The UK footwear, textiles and clothing sector is one of five that have been allocated their own Sector Skills Councils (SSCs) by the government.

Known as Trailblazer SSCs, the councils are aimed at setting the standard for other SSCs that will replace existing National Training Organisations (NTOs) later in the year. The SSC for textiles, clothing and footwear is formed of three former NTOs; CAPITB Trust - the clothing and allied products industry NTO; NTTO - the National Textile Training Organisation and; FLNTO - the Footwear and Leather National Training Organisation.
