Lifelong Learning UK is carrying out its annual Sector Skills Assessment (SSA) to understand current and future national skills needs and the drivers of skills demand in the lifelong learning sector.

The SSA identifies future skills priorities for the UK, including skills shortages and gaps, along with recommendations for addressing these issues. Findings from the research enable employers to focus their training and development activities to ensure best results for their organisations and the sector as a whole. The research data contributes to the UK-wide sector requirements and influences the policies and programmes of the government.

Lifelong Learning UK would like you to help them with this study by answering a few questions about skills issues that you may be facing in the lifelong learning sector.

As a thank you for your help with this study you will be entered into a draw for one of four £50 Amazon vouchers.

All the information you provide will be treated as confidential in accordance to the Data Protection Act and you will not be identified in any research reports.

The closing date for the submission to the 2010 Sector Skills Assessment is 31 August 2010 and the findings will be available to the public in late 2010.
