Regional Employment & Skills (Gaps) Analysis 2007/8

The Gap Analysis has now been superseded by the Regional Employment and Skills Analysis 2010.

In 2007 SLIM developed the South West Regional Skills, Enterprise and Employment Analysis to provide the evidence base for the development of the Regional Skills Partnership Statement of Priorities for 2007/8. This Statement was set in the context of the South West Regional Economic Strategy. The archived 2007/8 report remains available to view online and download (April 2007). The links on the right provide further information on the project.
