The research examined how far investment in workplace learning has been directed towards up-skilling individuals with lower skill levels, especially those without prior attainment at full level 2 (equivalent to 5 GCSEs at grades A to C or NVQ level 2). The research looked at the demographics, employment status and income of learners undertaking workplace learning and those undertaking their first level 2 learning.
The research looked specifically at the highest prior qualifications of adult learners (aged 19 plus) who were undertaking full level 2 or full level 3 workplace learning in November 2012. The survey took place between January and March 2014, and involved 1,600 interviews with learners.
