SDS publish Skills Assessment Reports and Offer supporting webinars

Skills Development Scotland have published their Regional Skills Assessment (RSA) and Sectoral Skills Assessment (SSA) reports for 2024 on their website.

There have been a number of enhancements to the suite of products this year including:

  • The inclusion of region-specific Green Evidence within the RSAs.
  • A new standalone report on Scotland’s Labour Market Drivers
  • The RSA Summary Infographics have also been developed to provide additional measures down to local authority level. They cover the economy and current and future demand in local areas across Scotland. These can be found through the RSA reports or on the RSA website here.

To complement these publications, SDS will be hosting a series of one-hour webinars, to explore the latest regional and sectoral labour market insight. These sessions will offer the opportunity to ask questions and hear from SDS Regional Skills Planning Leads and Sector Managers.
