The Welsh research programme, Future Skills Wales (FSW), for e-skills UK (Sector: Information Technology and Telecommunications and the lead body for Contact Centres on behalf of the Skills for Business network) has to date consisted of three surveys (in 1998, 2003 and 2005) commissioned by the FSW partnership. The focus of the first two surveys was to look at the generic skills requirements of employers in Wales. In both years parallel studies were carried out among Welsh households to identify the skills offered by the Welsh population. The shape that the Future Skills Wales 2005 Sector Skills Survey has taken has been influenced by two main factors. The desire to produce a common measure of skills deficiencies which is consistent and comparable across sectors, countries and regions and the need to make this information available for Sector Skills Councils for labour market analysis in Wales enabling shared dialogue by using comparable and consistent measures.
