Skills England today released its first Annual Skills Report, mapping current and future skills demand across England. The report shows demand in priority sectors will rise by about 24 % over the next decade, creating roughly 1.8 million additional jobs by 2035. A separate review highlighted that nearly one million 16‑to‑24‑year‑olds are not in education, employment or training, underlining the need to connect young people to work and training. The report outlines five key actions: tackling skill shortages, boosting employer investment, integrating AI skills, supporting young people’s employability, and building responsive local skills systems. It stresses that partnerships among employers, providers, local leaders and government will be essential to deliver these outcomes.
