QualifaX: Ireland's National Learners' Database

The National Skills Bulletin 2018 is the fourteenth in an annual series of reports produced by the Skills and Labour Market Research Unit (SLMRU) in SOLAS and the second to be produced on behalf of the National Skills Council (NSC). It presents an overview of the Irish labour market at occupational level.

 

The Bulletin aims to assist policy formulation in the areas of employment, education/training, immigration (particularly the sourcing of skills which are in short supply in the Irish and EU labour market from the EEA); it also aims to inform career guidance advisors, students and other individuals making career and educational choices.

 

For the most part, the analysis presented in the Bulletin is based on data held in the SLMRU National Skills Database; it spans 95 occupational groups and examines a range of labour market indicators.
