Employer Skills Survey 2011: Wales National Report

Produced by the UK Commission for Employment and Skills, it surveyed 87,572 establishments across the UK, of which 6,012 were based in Wales.  The Wales national report enables analysis by region, sector, occupation and establishment size within Wales, as well as comparisons to the UK where appropriate. The survey sets out the profile, structure and some key characteristics of Wales' employer population.

The survey report covers:

• The recruitment and perceived work-readiness of leavers from education;
• Employer recruitment activity, and the extent, causes and impact of labour market shortages;
• Internal skills gaps and skills under-utilisation within establishments;
• The extent and nature of employer training and investment in workforce development.
