The National Employers Skills Survey 2007 (NESS07) is the fourth national employers skills survey commissioned by the Learning and Skills Council (LSC) together with the Department for Innovation, Universities and Skills (DIUS) and the Sector Skills Development Agency (SSDA). NESS07 shares the aims of the previous NESS studies conducted in 2003, 2004 and 2005, namely to provide detailed analysis at a national, regional and sector level of the extent and nature of employers’ recruitment problems, skills gaps and training activity. Like NESS05, NESS07 also involved detailed follow-up work, assessing employer expenditure on training and development, something not covered in NESS03 or NESS04, and results on this topic are reported in Section 7.
