Details

Sets out findings from the UKCES Employer Perspectives Survey 2014 of 18,000 employers. Provides a UK-wide picture of how employers are meeting their skills and recruitment needs, looking both at their engagement with skills and employment services and their broader approaches to people development. The Employer Perspectives Survey was previously carried out in 2012. New detail in this years’ report includes recruitment of older and younger workers; work experience; collaboration with schools, colleges and universities; and Apprenticeships.

Topics covered include: approaches to recruitment; awareness and use of skills support services/initiatives; training and engagement with external training providers; use of vocational qualifications and apprenticeships; use of work placements; and the recruitment of young people.
