What We Heard from Employers
This document summarizes the messages we heard from the employers to which we spoke. The discussion ranged from broad questions about what most troubles employers, to asking for specific on what a workforce e agency should focus on around occupations and key skill needs.
The event was couched as a mock employer meeting, allowing participants to “sit in” on an employer engagement session and get firsthand experience of what it means for a sector strategy to be truly employer led.
A recording and transcript of this session will be available for download, but this document offers a concise take on the information shared.
