- 6. Theme 2: Adding value through skills • Training for a broad range of sectors widely available, and delivery methods diverse • Some successful work with employers in raising skills (i.e. Skillsnet) • Uneven access to quality career guidance • Strong awareness of need to attract and retain talent, but primarily in the context of internationally trading enterprises

Theme 3: Targeting policy to local employment sectors and investing in quality jobs • Skill needs of local sectors are less systematically monitored and VET responses are more ad-hoc • Skills utilisation efforts are small scale • Significant emphasis on skills for entrepreneurship • The job quality of inward investment is high. Quality of life is widely acknowledged as a major economic asset at the regional/local level
- 8. Theme 4: Inclusion • A broad range of employment supports and training programmes target 'at risk' groups • The cost of child and elderly care remains high • Major concerns with youth unemployment have not translated into a national/local youth strategies • Immigration on a large scale absorbed well into labour market – policy and civil society have responded
