Sectoral Skills Assessments

The Sectoral Skills Assessments (SSAs) are a new product produced by the SDS Evidence Base Team which look at current and future skills demand in the Key Sectors across Scotland.

The aim of the SSA infographics is to provide a high-level evidence base to inform future investment in skills, built up from existing datasets.

The SSA Infographics focus on:

• The Economy
• Employment
• Vacancies
• Future Job Openings
• Skills Shortages and Gaps.

Industry experts in each key sector have also provided insight. This focuses on the future challenges and ambitions of each sector.

A section on Brexit has also been added to specific sectors (Tourism and Food and Drink) to highlight areas that are potentially most at risk.
