It provides detailed information about employers’ recruitment problems, experience of skill gaps and engagement in training. NESS 2005 shares the aims of the 2003 and 2004 studies, namely to provide detailed analysis of the extent and nature of employers’ recruitment problems, skills gaps and training activity. NESS 2005 also involved detailed follow-up work assessing employer expenditure on training and development, something not covered in NESS 2003 or NESS 2004. It is a major research study allowing detailed and statistically reliable analysis of findings at national, regional and sector level within England. The survey was conducted every two years from 2001 until 2009 by the Learning and Skills Council. After this responsibility for the survey passed to the UK Commission for Employment and Skills and it was merged with other employer skills surveys around the UK to form the UK Employer Skills Survey in 2011 (UK Data Archive SN 7430; SN 7484). The data from NESS is comparable with the England data from the UK Employer Skills Survey. A separate, but similar survey to NESS is conducted in Scotland (the Scottish Employer Skills Survey, held by UK Data Archive under SN 6857). Main Topics: The survey coverage falls into four major categories: <li>hard-to-fill vacancies and skills-shortage vacancies; <li>skills gaps; <li>workforce training and development; <li>quality of education leavers. In addition, from 2005 an annex survey was conducted, which collected data from firms about the cost of providing training (for example, fees paid to external training providers for staff). May 2005 - August 200501 May 200501 August 2005 England Institutions/organisationsNational The survey is with employers in England. Employers were defined as establishments rather than enterprises, hence different establishments of the same company could be interviewed. Establishments where no other people besides the working proprietors were employed were excluded, but otherwise all sizes and sectors of establishments were in scope for the survey. The principal respondent was the most senior person responsible for human resources or personnel issues.
