Insights

Providing industry with a robust evidence base to drive the strategic skills agenda.

data backed decisions

Our skills insight activity covers a range of topics from gender balance and qualification levels in the workforce, to scenario modelling techniques that highlight future skills requirements. In 2022 the NSSG worked with Industry to identify the most significant skills risks which can be addressed collaboratively. This resulted in the identification of 11 priority skill areas and underpins much of the activity already underway.

Labour Market Intelligence

The NSSG undertakes reqular reviews of the labour market. The Nuclear Workforce Assessment, produced bi-annually, forecasts the skills supply/demand from civil and defence sectors and provides insights to develop key skills interventions. The data on these pages only cover a fraction of our analysis. For more information or support contact NSSGmembers@cogentskills.com

Skills Risk Heat maps

Skills risk ‘heat maps’ compare the critical demand for a skill against the market availability for job roles across both civil & defence. Where there are common skills risks these form a priority risk log where risks are met through Task and Finish Group interventions.
