Abstract

Examines the distribution of job skills among employees working in the Highlands and Islands. Analyses data from the British Skills Surveys, in particular that carried out in 2006. Explores workers' views on the skills they use at work. Focuses on distribution and trends in: broad skill measures including entry-level qualification; computer skills; generic skills such as communication; and employee task discretion. Examines workers' attitudes towards and experiences of skills acquisition. Investigates which groups of workers deploy which skills and to what extent. Makes comparisons between the Highlands and Islands, elsewhere in Scotland, and elsewhere in the UK. This report is a companion to the national 'Skills at work in Scotland' report, see B8086.
