Employer Skills Survey 2024 Welcome to the microsite for the Department for Education (DfE) 2024 UK Employer Skills Survey. What is the UK Employer Skills Survey? The Employer Skills Survey is based on over 20,000 telephone interviews with employers in England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland and is one of the largest employer surveys in the world. The survey is vital to the work of DfE and their partners both within national and local government. The survey gathers information on the skills challenges that employers face within their workforce and when recruiting, the nature of any training provided, and awareness and involvement in various initiatives and programmes. Employer Skills Survey 2022 The last Employer Skills Survey was carried out in 2022 and results from this survey can be viewed on the GOV.UK website: Employer skills survey: 2022 - GOV.UK For 2022 results from data collected with employers in Scotland specifically, please see the Scottish Government website: UK Employer Skills Survey 2022 - Scotland Report - gov.scot (www.gov.scot).

The success of the survey is dependent on the willingness of employers to take part. If selected, employers can choose a time that suits them to be interviewed. If you are a participant or are considering taking part, you can find more information on our FAQs page. The results of the survey will be made publicly available on the GOV.UK website in 2025.
