Abstract
This report analyses the distribution of publically-funded learning in the 2010/11 academic year based on data provided to the Nottingham & Nottinghamshire Employment & Skills Board by the SFA/BIS Data Service for learners (aged 16 +) who are resident within the D2N2 Local Enterprise Partnership. Learner starts are analysed by sector and level of course/qualification, and this is compared to the profile of the D2N2 workforce by qualification, sector and occupation, along with advertised vacancies by sector, in order to identify any possible mismatches between delivery, learner choice and labour market opportunities. SFA/BIS data has been analysed and presented according to the terms of the Data Agreement with the NCC Employment & Skills Board (26th June, 2012). Absolute numbers are not included in any of the charts or commentary in this report, ensuring the confidentiality of both individual providers/delivery bodies and learners
