Summary

The UK Commission’s Employer Skills Survey (UKCESS) is the largest of its kind on the world. It gives a comprehensive and robust picture of skills needs and training investment in UK business. Topics covered in the survey include training and staff development, vacancies and skills shortages, employee skill gaps and the recruitment of education leavers.

The UKCESS 2011 was the first UK-wide employer skills survey. The results provide a comprehensive source of data for users:

• Employers can identify how they compare to their sector in their provision of training or own experience of skill deficiency and identify key challenges and opportunities for their sector;

• Individuals and careers advisers can identify sectors and occupations experiencing particular shortages;

• Providers of training and development can use the results to help shape provision to need in their locality or their specialist areas

Please note that these tables are to be used in comparison with the UKCESS 2013 main report. 2011 data that is comparable to the UKCESS 2011 main report is available at: http://data.gov.uk/dataset/the-uk-commissions-employer-skills-survey . This is due to a change in sampling strategy for the 2013 survey. More information is available in the 2013 technical report and the Guide to using the 2011 Employer Skills Survey data tables, both available as an ‘Additional Link’ below).
