Abstract

At the start of 2024, international law firm CMS teamed up with the Fraser of Allander Institute on a thought leadership campaign, under the theme ‘Skills for Today and Tomorrow’. Throughout the month of August, the institute undertook a series of non-attributed interviews with 14 CMS partners and of counsel to influence and shape this research. These interviews explored with partners and of counsel the issues related to the topics of ‘Skills for Today and Tomorrow’ and provided direction for the next steps. Since then, we have produced a short analytical report setting out the evidence base of Scotland’s skills landscape. This report looks at the data and policy surrounding the following sub-sections: ■ The Current Skills Landscape ■ The Changing Skills Landscape ■ Skills for the Future ■ Occupation Profiles In addition to more skills, investing in the right skills is equally important. Collaboration between government, industry and the education sector will be critical in creating a more agile and responsive skills landscape. This report explores how Scotland can leverage its world-class education system, burgeoning tech hubs, and leadership in energy to ensure Scotland’s workforce can meet the challenges of today and seize the opportunities of tomorrow.
