Learning and Work Institute Cymru has been commissioned by Welsh Government to undertake a Skills Audit for Wales to identify the skills needed now and in the coming years to support and grow the Welsh economy.
What is the Skills Audit for Wales?
The last formal skills audit in Wales took place in 2012 and since then the skills landscape has changed significantly alongside major political, environmental, social, technological and economic changes. It is now time to conduct a new skills audit to help prepare Wales for the future.
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 to better understand skills needs. The findings will help to shape planning and decision-making of policymakers, employers, education and training providers, and other stakeholders around Wales’ strategic skills needs.
As part of the Skills Audit for Wales, we are gathering information through a call for evidence from stakeholders who would like to contribute evidence and/or their insights about skills needs in Wales.
Your response will help inform the evidence base for the 2026 Skills Audit and support future planning and decision-making across Wales.
You can preview the survey questions here.
The Call for Evidence survey will be available until 25th September 2026 and to take part, please follow the link below.
