| Phase 2: | Understanding the current supply of skills provision |
| Phase 3: | Analysis of gaps in provision and impact review of highlighted deficiencies |
| Phase 4: | Assessment of potential collaborative action plans, strategies or solutions or how employers would engage skills development to improve business performance and what initiatives they would be likely to subscribe to |
