The Sector Skills Council for Science, Engineering and Manufacturing Technologies

Engineering Skills Balance Sheets

The purpose of the Skills Balance Sheet is to demonstrate the range and level of skills in its labour force that are necessary to achieve productivity at internationally competitive levels.  Balance sheet reports contain detailed skills needs assessments as well as analysis and data about current provision for engineering and associated sectors.  These reports are split by the various regions and build on work already undertaken in Skills Action Plans (Sector Skills Agreements - SSAs).

The reports cover the skills interests of the engineering industry and are broken down, where appropriate, into the following areas:

  • Metals
  • Mechanical
  • Electrical and Electronics
  • Automotive
  • Other Transport Equipment (which includes Aerospace and Marine)

The research consists of a comprehensive review of the labour market and includes primary research including employer skills surveys. 

The work draws on existing data, research reports and intelligence sources investigating productivity, current and future employment demands, recruitment issues, skills needs and skills gaps.
