The last twelve months have brought with it continued pandemic uncertainty, supply chain disruption and major recruitment issues as firms try to ramp up workforces to meet demand.

We want to get a clear picture of the current training, skills and apprenticeships landscape and are asking employers to take five minutes to fill in the questions in our third national Training Barometer.

The results will form part of a special report by In-Comm Training into the current climate and will be used to talk to relevant influential bodies, such as  the Government, about ongoing support.
