This Skills Roundtable is being held in association with St Andrews University and Fife College as an opportunity for ScotlandIS members to provide insight into skills requirements for the sector.

Throughout the event we will discuss gaps and mismatches within Higher Education (HE)/Further Education (FE), and requirements from industry. We will discuss the skills that are required in specific areas across Scotland, explore the level of skills required by industry, and look at how qualification levels impact roles.

What is the demand for qualifications over experience, and what are the barriers to accessing that training?

It is hoped that the audience will leave with a better grasp of the skills rquirements across Scotland, and that educational institutions gain a clearer understanding of sector requirements to ensure the training they are providing is relevant.
