The Enterprise, Transport and Lifelong Learning Department (ETLLD) is the Scottish Government department responsible for economic and industrial development, further and higher education, skills, lifelong learning, energy, transport and digital connectivity.
Philip Rycroft was appointed head of the department in May 2006 following the retirement of Eddie Frizzell. Rycroft was previously Head of Schools Group within the Scottish Executive Education Department.
It is the only Scottish Government department based in Glasgow.
The Cabinet Secretary for Finance and Sustainable Growth (currently John Swinney MSP), assisted by the Minister for Transport, Infrastructure and Climate Change (currently Stewart Stevenson MSP) and the Minister for Enterprise, Energy and Tourism (Jim Mather MSP) has responsibility for the Enterprise and Transport elements of the department. The Cabinet Secretary for Education and Lifelong Learning (currently Fiona Hyslop MSP) has responsibility for the Lifelong Learning portfolio.
ETLLD was formerly the Enterprise and Lifelong Learning Department but was extended in May 2003 to include responsibility for Transport, in recognition of transport's crucial importance to economic growth.
