Research

As well as researching the skills needs of the whole footprint, Proskills also produces individual reports and data for each of the industries in its footprint. This helps to identify where each industry has specific skills-related issues, and where there are skill needs that cut across different areas of the sector.

Proskills has produced the following reports, which deal specifically with Building Products:
