Sector Skills Assessment 2010

"All Sector Skills Councils produce an annual Sector Skills Assessment (SSA) for the whole of the UK as well as each of the four nations. Lifelong Learning UK’s SSA builds on Stage 1 of the Sector Skills Agreement (LLUK 2007) and serves as a ‘state of the nation report’ identifying employer skills needs in the existing and future workforce within the social, economic and political landscapes. It provides employers with intelligence on future skills needs so that skills development can be prioritised for the short, medium and long terms." - Summary Report page 2
