  <dc:description xml:lang="en">&lt;P&gt;Abstract copyright UK Data Service and data collection copyright owner.&lt;/P&gt;&amp;nbsp;</dc:description><dc:description xml:lang="en">The &lt;I&gt;National Employer Skills Survey&lt;/I&gt; (NESS) collected data about the skills of the workforce of firms in England. It provides detailed information about employers’ recruitment problems, experience of skill gaps and engagement in training.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; NESS 2003 is such a large resource that it is able to address issues that require analysis at a detailed local or sector level much more readily than any previous survey. &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; 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.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; A separate, but similar survey to NESS is conducted in Scotland (the Scottish Employer Skills Survey, held by UK Data Archive under SN 6857).&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;</dc:description><dc:description xml:lang="en">&lt;B&gt;Main Topics&lt;/B&gt;:&lt;BR&gt;</dc:description><dc:description xml:lang="en">The survey coverage falls into three major categories: &lt;br&gt; &lt;li&gt;hard-to-fill vacancies and skills-shortage vacancies; &lt;br&gt; &lt;li&gt;skills gaps; &lt;br&gt; &lt;li&gt;workforce training and development.</dc:description>
