90,000 employers – one of the largest surveys in the world
In the WoE, more employers recruit from FE than the national average (14% v 12%)
In 2013, WoE showed

• 1.4% Hard to fill v 0.75% nationally

UKCES Employer Survey
![Page 8: Study programmes Employability activity Destination & success rates UKCES data Conclusions Kevin Hamblin, CEO & Executive Principal How SGS prepares students](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081822/5697bfc71a28abf838ca8109/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
The preparedness (very well prepared and well prepared) for work of 17-18 year olds leaving a Further Education Institution in WoE is 81%, compared to 74% nationally.
A lack of numeracy and a poor education were not seen as an issue in the WoE (1% and less than 1% against a UK average of 2% and 1%)
The Hard to Fill and Skills Shortage Vacancies are greater than national average. There is less problem in filling vacancies which do not require specific skills.

Preparedness for work v Well and Well Prepared from FEI

• Lack of understanding regarding the role of FE
• WoE FE provision is preparing young people for work better than most LEP areas.
• High level skills and experience are required.
• We need to invest in our young people and support their college career
• Hard to fill vacancies and skills shortages are as much a result of under-investment in traineeships and apprenticeships years ago
• Unless more college leavers are employed within specific sectors, these skills and experience will not be gained for the medium term
• Colleges are integral to the success of the economy and the route to employment – the solution rather than the problem
