Aim
The Asset Skills research team aims to deliver high quality research regarding the cleaning, property, housing and facilities management industries in consultation with employers, educational and professional bodies in the four nations.
We focus on the following areas:
- Research for the Sector Skills Agreement
- Identifying current and future skill needs
- Mapping public and private providers of training
- Identifying the priority occupations in our industries
- Identifying industry specific performance indicators
- Highlighting best practice in organisations in terms of learning and skills
- Working with research teams from our professional associations and other Sector Skills Councils
- Ad-hoc research
The Asset Skills footprint is diverse so we aim to provide information on each industry, as well as giving a comprehensive overview of the Asset Skills workforce as a whole. We seek to provide data for each of the Home Nations and the nine English regions.
We have extensive knowledge of researching the Asset Skills’ industries using a variety of research methods and can offer advice and guidance on projects you may wish to undertake. We can also arrange for bespoke research to be carried out for example, employer surveys, case studies highlighting best practice etc.
