Energy & Utility Skills Sector Skills Assessment
Our 2009 Sector Skills Assessment report (SSA) is a robust and authoritative examination of the skills needs across the UK's gas, power, waste management and water industries. It draws upon evidence from a range of recognised data sources and is combined with intelligence gathered by EU Skills through its own research and engagement with employers and other stakeholders across the sector.
Contained in the reports is an assessment of the drivers of skills across the sector, identification of the current skills needs and an analysis of what lies ahead. They also set out the key skills priorities and actions that EU Skills will be taking forward over the coming year.
EU Skills is now required to produce an SSA report for its sector on an annual basis; reporting in December. Following in February 2010 will be an SSA report for each of the four nations within the UK.
All of the reports are listed below and can be view as e-books. :
