Education, Employment and Skills Board July 2017 Performance Dashboard Contents

Content Report RAG Rules Key performance indicators (KPI) updates and other significant updates Other updates Key Points Employment Perspective Survey 2016 released, which shows businesses are lowering their recruitment criteria which correlates to the skills shortage issue highlighted in the previous Employer Skills Survey 2015 Inequality gap is growing at level 2 and 3 between average attainment and free school meals attainment

Report Employer Perspective Survey Last month, the Department for Education released the Employer Perspective Survey (EPS) 2016 (previously collected and released by UKCES). This is a biennial study which focuses on what drives employer s around recruitment and employee development, as well as looking into work experience, apprenticeships and traineeships. The EPS series complements the Employer Skills Survey (ESS) series, which looks at the skills challenges employers face and their response in terms of investment in skills and training, which is conducted in alternate years to the EPS. The new study had a strong focus on recruitment methods, an area which has vastly changed since 2014 due to how employers now use the internet and social media, and on apprenticeships which has continued to be a focus for the government. The study showed that the Swindon and Wiltshire LEP (SWLEP) had an 18% increase in employers with vacancies in the past 12 months, up to 64% and significantly higher than the national average (53%). Below, figure 1. indicates the recruitment methods used by employers in the previous 12 months. 60% 55% 50% 40% 30% 20% 42% 32% 29% 29% 24% 24% 20% 19% 20% 10% 9% 9% 5% 10% 0% Relied on word of mouth or personal recommendations Placed adverts on their website to recruit Placed adverts on social media to recruit Used some other form of paid-for recruitment service Used a government recruitment service or scheme Paid someone to place adverts on their website or social media Used school, college or university job fairs or careers services Swindon and Wiltshire LEP National Average Figure 1. Recruitment methods by employers (Employer Perspective Survey, 2016). Furthermore in terms of recruitment it suggests that SWLEP employers are putting less emphasis on candidates having specific levels of qualifications, with the proportion citing that candidates having a particular level of achievement of academic qualifications (e.g. GCSEs, A levels or a degree) is either a critical or significant factor when recruiting dropped from 55% to 41% and the proportion citing that candidates having Maths and English GCSE to at least level 2 or GCSE A*-C is either a critical or significant factor when recruiting dropped from 61% to 53%. This could be linked to the rise in skills shortage vacancies reported for the SWLEP in the Employer Skills Survey 2015, which showed that the LEP had the 3rd highest density of skill-shortage vacancies in the country, as such expectations of who employers could expect to hire appears to have lowered.

The study also showed that there was a rise in employers having work experience placements (up from 30% to 40% of employers), as well as the amount of employers hiring 16-18 year olds (16%), 19-24 year olds (32%), 50+ year olds (23%) all of which were above national averages. In terms of apprenticeships, close to two fifths of employers either have or offer them which matches the national average; with a further 13% planning to offer an apprenticeship in the future who don t currently. Interestingly, only half of employers in the LEP, and slightly less than that nationally, are aware and have a good knowledge of apprenticeships/have or offer them, which means approximately 12,400 employers aren t aware of/don t have a good knowledge of apprenticeships or have/offer them. Pay Rates In the previous Education, Employment and Skills Performance Dashboard, we discussed the difference in workplace pay rates between Wiltshire and its statistical neighbours; since 2008 when Wiltshire was above the average pay rate compared to its neighbours and only 33.70 behind the highest paid county, to 2016 where Wiltshire is now significantly below the neighbours average and has seen the lowest amount of pay rate growth over that period ( 30.90 compared to its statistical neighbours average of 70.30). In trying to answer the question poised in the previous dashboard why have Wiltshire workplaces had the smallest increase in pay over the last 8 years when the majority of other counties growth in pay has been double the amount that Wiltshire has seen? we have looked into public vs private sector businesses to see if this has a contributing factor. In 2016, the private sector made up 99.14% of businesses in Wiltshire, with 98.90% being small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and 0.23% of businesses being a large employer (50 enterprises). Wiltshire has very similar levels in its private sector compared to its statistical neighbour s average and a similar picture is also evident in the proportion of public sector employers; please see table 1. Table 1. Proportions of private and public sector enterprises (Inter Departmental Business Register, Nomis, 2016). Private Sector Employment sizeband Micro (0-9) Small (10-49) Medium (50- Large Total 249) (250+) Wiltshire 89.62% 8.00% 1.28% 0.23% 99.14% Statistical Neighbours Public Sector 88.76% 8.88% 1.36% 0.30% 99.29% Wiltshire 0.61% 0.09% 0.11% 0.02% 0.86% Statistical Neighbours 0.50% 0.05% 0.10% 0.05% 0.71% However, if we examine the growth of public and private enterprises from 2010 to 2016 an interesting picture is drawn. Wiltshire has seen higher than average growth in the amount of public and private sector enterprises compared to its statistical neighbours, however over this period Wiltshire saw 0% growth in large enterprises and its main growth in micro enterprises employing 0-9 employees: please see Table 2.

Table 2. Change in amount of Enterprises for the private and public sector from 2010 to 2016 (Inter Departmental Business Register, Nomis, 2016). Private Sector Employment sizeband Micro (0-9) Small (10-49) Medium (50- Large Total 249) (250+) Wiltshire 15.87% 8.56% 23.91% 0.00% 15.33% Statistical Neighbours Public Sector 11.67% 14.59% 10.22% 25.83% 11.90% Wiltshire 350.00% 100.00% 150.00% 0.00% 245.45% Statistical Neighbours 179.29% 190.83% 1130.00% 17.50% 162.19% The fact that Wiltshire had 0% growth in large public sector enterprises is not too striking as this matches Hampshire, West Sussex, Bath and North East Somerset, Dorset and Shropshire. But the 0% growth in large private enterprises is well below the statistical neighbour s averages (28.83%), the South West (25.25%) and Great Britain (13.63%). As such with the increase in micro businesses in the county, the proportions of enterprises in the county and 0% growth in large businesses may be a contributing factor why growth in pay has not increased in line with our neighbours. Further analysis into the growth of businesses, as well as surrounding counties pay rates is now needed to continue to provide a clearer answer for Wiltshire s low pay rate growth.

Key performance indicators (KPI) updates and other significant updates 2 8 There were no jobs created in the fourth quarter 2016/17. However there are approximately 4150 potential jobs in the pipeline. This measure only reflects new jobs created with direct Wiltshire Council involvement. This data was sourced from the Economic Development and Planning Performance figures for Q4 (Jan-Mar) 2016/17.

Wiltshire is back to pre-recession levels for the amount of people claiming at least one form of out of work benefit (16,010 individuals). The main out-of-work benefits include the groups: job seekers, ESA and incapacity benefits, lone parents and others on income related benefits. Wiltshire compares favourably with the national average (8.4%) and also better than its statistical neighbours (5.8%). Wiltshire is ranked well nationally at 24. This data was sourced from NOMIS (Key out-of-work benefits) November 2016. 9 As of November 2016 Wiltshire had 1,660 individuals claiming Job Seekers Allowance, which ranks Wiltshire highly at joint 21 nationally out of 152 counties. Wiltshire matches its statistical neighbours (0.6%), and is better than the National average (1.1%). This data was sourced from NOMIS November 2016. 10

Wiltshire has only 11,990 individuals claiming Employment Support Allowance, which represents 4.1% of the counties working age (16-64) population. This figure compares favourably with national levels (6.1%) and is back to pre-recession levels; it is also slightly better than Wiltshire's statistical neighbours (4.5%). The amount has remained largely static, with an early intervention strategy in place to contact ESA claimants earlier. Wiltshire was one of the topped ranked counties nationally, ranking joint 25 out of 152. This data is sourced from NOMIS November 2016. 11 In May 2017 93.3% of 10,460 individuals aged 16-17 (academic age) were in education, employment or training.
