This article outlines how higher education in the UK has undergone some significant changes over the last ten years in which government departments and policies are linking the “skills” we deliver to the nation's economic growth. This is now monitored by agencies such as the Sector Skills Councils. This article takes a first step in considering how photographic lecturers in higher education have responded to this debate. It moves on to suggest that our relationship to agencies such as Skillset could be most effectively managed through an examination of our own, historical, ideological and disciplinary positions in terms of the delivery of photographic skills. In this respect the article suggests that such a theoretically informed approach to skills could, in fact, allow us to engage productively with this new government agenda
