You could write 'skill development council', but I don't think it's needed as the sentence already contains the word 'Utbildningsarbete'.

skills council
"råd" can often be a "council" or official body, so I wonder if this is what is intended here.

skills advisory council
Kompetens is often better translated as skills. And this looks to me like a committee giving advice. Hence my version.
