Publisher's Synopsis
National Vocational Qualifications are a system of qualification incorporating specified standards of the ability to perform a range of work-related activities. In 1993, the Institute of Employment Studies undertook research to examine the extent of employers' use of NVQs. For this report, the Institute has re-visited this issue to examine progress in the take-up of NVQs and factors which underpin their rate of take-up. The research involved a survey of 758 employers across England and Wales.
