Labour Market Intelligence for the Parking sector

Client
British Parking Association

Completion date
January 2008

Research description
The research was commissioned by the British Parking Association (BPA), working in conjunction with Asset Skills, in order to inform the development of a qualifications strategy for the parking sector (as part of the Sector Qualifications Reform Programme).

The research undertaken for the BPA sought to conform to the standards set by the SSDA for the research that they require to be undertaken in order to underpin a qualifications strategy. This is largely based on the guidance provided by the SSDA in relation to Stages 1, 2 and 3 of the sector skills agreement (SSA) process. The research undertaken for the BPA therefore involved:

• A sophisticated assessment of the parking sector in order to determine short, medium and long-term skills needs and to map out the factors driving change in the sector (the demand for skills);

• A review of current learning provision across all levels within the parking sector to measure its range, nature and employer relevance (the supply of skills);

• Identification, analysis and prioritisation of the main gaps and weaknesses in workforce development (gap analysis).
