We produce Sector Skills Profiles to inform the strategic thinking of the Regional Skills Partnership. These profiles also support the work of the Learning and Skills Council in developing learning and skills Balance Sheets.
Building on the sector profiles we produced in 2005-2006, Sector Skills Balance Sheets play a critical role in informing work to align the supply of education and training with the needs of employers and the regional economy. The Balance Sheets include a review of the demand for skills from employers, the available supply of education and training and any key gaps and mismatches.
The Learning and Skills Council also produce Balance Sheets. Reports are available on the Downloads tab.
