Call for evidence launched for Skills Audit for Wales
Learning and Work Institute Cymru has been commissioned by Welsh Government to carry out a new Skills Audit for Wales, designed to identify the skills needed now and in the coming years to support and grow the Welsh economy. The last formal skills audit took place in 2012, and since then the skills landscape has changed significantly in response to major political, environmental, social, technological and economic shifts. The new audit aims to help prepare Wales for the future by updating the evidence base on strategic skills needs.
The Skills Audit for Wales will bring together existing evidence, analyse available data and gather views from industry representatives, employers, skills providers and other key stakeholders. The findings will help shape planning and decision‑making by policymakers, employers, education and training providers and others with an interest in Wales’ long‑term skills requirements.
As part of the audit, Learning and Work Institute Cymru is running a call for evidence, inviting stakeholders to contribute relevant evidence and insights about skills needs in Wales. Responses will help inform the evidence base for the 2026 Skills Audit and support future planning and decision‑making across the country. Stakeholders can also preview the survey questions before submitting their views.
For practitioners, the call for evidence offers a structured opportunity to share what they are seeing on the ground in relation to skills gaps, emerging needs and effective practice, ensuring these perspectives are reflected in the national skills picture.
