Abstract

A study of training opportunities in the Lancaster and Morecambe area of north‐west England is undertaken. In common with much of the UK, there is a substantial degree of mismatch between skills possessed by job seekers and those sought by firms. Training facilities offered by firms in the area are good. Over 80 per cent of vacancies in manufacturing are for jobs where the employer offers some kind of training for new employees. The most common forms of training are on‐the‐job, though more formal schemes are also widely used in certain occupations.
