How we use the evidence we gather
Skillset research provides the evidence, authority and justification for all we do.
We help the UK's creative industries increase their creativity, competitiveness and productivity through skills by: enabling employers to prioritise training; identifying diversity and access issues; targeting investment in training by identifying skills gaps and shortages; and providing careers information based on robust evidence.
Our research also influences training and education policy and course development, with our Labour Market Intelligence informing the shaping of qualifications and providing the evidence on which our National Occupational Standards are based.
And it is at the heart of how we plan and evaluate the work we do. Find out more below about how we use the evidence we gather.
