EGFSN Vacancy Overview 2012 published

The Expert Group on Future Skills Needs (EGFSN) has published its third Vacancy Overview report, which outlines the areas where job vacancies arose during 2012.  Through an analysis of almost 100,000 vacancies, the Vacancy Overview shows that demand continues to exist for most occupations with a strong demand for those with work experience, third level qualifications and/or foreign language skills.

Produced by the Skills and Labour Market Unit in FÁS on behalf of the EGFSN, the Vacancy Overview 2012 findings draw on a number of data sources held in the National Skills Database to provide an overview and analysis of the demand for labour as measured by trends in newly advertised job vacancies through both a public and private source: DSP/FÁS Jobs Ireland and IrishJobs.ie.
