Sectoral Skills Assessments

The Sectoral Skills Assessments (SSAs) look at current and future skills demand in the key sectors across Scotland. From 2022/23, the SSAs will be published by SDS on an annual basis, and will continue to review new data, evidence, and insight.

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:

• Key strategic drivers
• The Economy
• Current and Future Demand
• Job Postings

Industry experts have also provided sectoral insight focusing on the future challenges and ambitions of each sector.

A separate technical note is available to provide more information on the main datasets utilised within the SSAs.
