Employer Skills Survey 2022

This survey is based on over 86,000 telephone interviews with employers in England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland and is one of the largest employer surveys in the world. It is vital to the work of DfE and their partners both within national and local government, gathering information on: the skills challenges that employers face within their workforce and when recruiting; the nature of any training provided; and awareness and involvement in various initiatives and programmes. Fieldwork for the survey was carried out between May and December 2022 by IFF Research, BMG Research and Ipsos MORI on behalf of the Department for Education, the Scottish Government, the Welsh Government, and the Department for the Economy in Northern Ireland.
