Northern Ireland Skills Barometer 2021 update
Date published:
This report provides a detailed understanding of the skill requirements for the Northern Ireland economy, up to 2030. The research analyses where the skills gaps are currently, where they are emerging and where they are likely to emerge over the longer term.
Ulster University’s Economic Policy Centre (UUEPC) undertook research on the quantum of future skill requirements for Northern Ireland. The NI Skills Barometer involved the development of an economic model to forecast future skills needs and skills gaps by qualification level, subject area and sector for NI. This update report is the fourth publication in relation to the NI Skills Barometer, and covers the coming decade to 2030.
The quantitative findings of the research will be of interest to a wide range of stakeholders, including: careers advisors; young people and parents; teachers and schools; business groups; as well as the Department for the Economy and wider government.
