Labour Market Analysis and Evaluation
The purpose of the Labour Market and Evaluation (LMAE) project is to develop the regional labour market intelligence capacity around patterns of demand and supply, to ensure that the education and skills system within the region can respond to both the needs of individuals wishing to enter and progress through the labour market, and employers who seek to address skills shortages and gaps.
The programme has been developed around a number of core themes, namely:
Cross-cutting skills: Additional research and analysis of cross cutting skills issues within the region’s key sectors to inform the curriculum and training
Employer skills demand: Gathering additional primary data on the needs of regional employers to give a more nuanced view of sector skills demand
Innovation: Collaborating with the Data Driven Innovation programme to identify opportunities to develop innovative approaches to labour market analysis and evaluation
Analysis of best practice: Horizon scanning exercise to identify best practice approaches to labour market intelligence gathering and utilisation to be applied in the region
Labour Market Toolkit Guidance materials: Developing accessible regionally tailored labour market guidance materials (building on existing) for individuals and those who help prepare people for jobs and careers
A clear and consistent overview of the labour market will generate significant, synergies, cost efficiencies, improved inclusion outcomes, and enhance responsiveness to changing need and opportunity in our regional labour market that will have a lasting benefit for the region and the Scottish Economy.
Access the Labour Market Toolkit for up to date guidance and information to help you support clients onto jobs and careers within the region.
