South Tyneside Skills Survey

Seeking business views on current and future skills and training needs in South Tyneside

Ensuring that South Tyneside businesses have access to a wide pool of skilled workers as our economy adapts to the challenges of the pandemic will be a key part of our local economic recovery in the Borough. That is why we want to get your views in this short survey.
