The National Employers Skill Survey 2003 (NESS2003) is the largest survey of its kind ever undertaken in England: 72,100 interviews with a representative sample of establishments in England. It provides detailed information about employers’ recruitment problems, experience of skill gaps and engagement in training. NESS2003 is such a large resource that it is able to address issues that require analysis at a detailed local or sectoral level much more readily than any previous survey. NESS2003 is unique in many respects, but it also follows on in the tradition of the Skill Needs in Britain Surveys (1992 to 1998) and the Employers Skill Surveys (1999, 2001 and 2002). |
