UKCES Employer Skills Survey 2011 [comparable with UKCESS 2011 main report]

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 2011 main report. If you want to compare 2011 data to 2013, there is comparable data available at: http://data.gov.uk/dataset/ukces-employer-skills-survey . This is due to a change in sampling strategy for the 2013 survey.

英国雇主技能调查委员会（UKCESS）所进行的调查，在全球范围内属于同类调查之最。该调查全面而稳固地描绘了英国商业领域对技能的需求与培训投资状况。调查涵盖的主题包括培训与员工发展、职位空缺与技能短缺、员工技能差距以及教育毕业生招聘等。2011年的UKCESS调查是首次全国性的雇主技能调查，其结果为用户提供了一份全面的数据资源：

• 雇主能够识别其在培训提供或自身技能不足经验方面与其所在行业的比较情况，并识别其行业的关键挑战与机遇；

• 个人与职业顾问可以识别经历特定短缺的领域和职业；

• 培训与发展提供者可以利用这些结果来帮助调整其地区或专业领域的培训供给以适应需求。
