This study aims to clarify and provide data on the take-up of National Vocational Qualifications (NVQs) and Scottish Vocational Qualifications (SVQs) across industrial sectors. It uses appropriate specific categories and subgroups of employers, to provide evidence of specific industry factors that effect the take-up of NVQs and SVQs and any factors that are common to all employers. It also explores the critical factors which lead employees working towards NVQs and SVQs amongst those employers offering the opportunity to gain these qualifications. The study is comprised of a literature review, surveys, and interviews held across the forestry, water, food and drink manufacture, information technology, public administration, hospitality, residential care and retail sectors.
