Scotland's colleges have a wide-ranging mission. They meet the needs of a wide range of stakeholders, including individual learners, local communities, regional and national bodies and the national and international economies. That they meet all of these needs to a very large extent is testament to the commitment of the staff and Boards of Management in colleges. The Scottish Government has identified six key economic sectors, as well as the university sector, in its skills strategy, "Skills for Scotland": (1) financial and business services; (2) energy; (3) tourism; (4) life sciences; (5) food and drink; and (5) creative industries. This report will evaluate the extent to which Scotland's colleges are working to address the skills needs of these key economic sectors. Appended are: (1) Employment in Scotland 2009; (2) HMIE groupings of subject areas; (3) Enrolments by HMIE grouping 2005-6 to 2009-10; (4) Enrolment trends for selected programme groupings; and (5) Colleges involved in fieldwork for this report. A glossary of terms is included. (Contains 3 tables and 17 footnotes.)
