The Department for Education (DfE) and the Skills and Productivity Board (SPB) commissioned RAND Europe and the Institute for Employment Research (IER), University of Warwick, to undertake qualitative research looking into changing skills needs. This research draws on 28 expert interviews and four workshops to answer the question how skills needs will change in the four priority areas (i.e. health, science and technology, managers, and skilled trades) over the next 5–10 years.
