Project description
Throughout the course of
2006 LMS has been supporting Asset Skills in the development of the Sector
Skills Agreement covering the Property, Housing, Facilities management
and Cleaning Industries.
This work has involved research and reporting
in relation to the first three stages of the Sector Skills Agreement
process:
Stage 1: The development of the UK wide Skill Needs Assessment
(SNA) provided a comprehensive insight into the skill needs facing businesses
within the Asset Skills sector (i.e. the demand for skills). The assessment
of current and future skills needs provided a sophisticated analysis
of sector trends, drivers of productivity, areas for workforce development
and reducing skill gaps and shortages. In addition, SNA’s were
developed for each nation in the UK and for each English region.
Stage
2: A comprehensive assessment of current learning provision within the
Asset Skills sector and detailed the key supply issues facing each industry
within the Asset Skills sector. The Stage 2 report produced by LMS resulted
in Asset Skills receiving the only ‘exemplar’ standard awarded
by the SSDA to any SSC.
Stage 3: The Stage 3 report produced by LMS set
out key supply and demand issues facing each industry within the Asset
Skills Sector and outlined potential solutions, which would improve future
business performance within the sector.
Work with Asset Skills on the
development of the Sector Skills Agreement is on going with the final
agreement due for publication in May 2007.
