The case study industries have been selected as offering critical, comparable cases. Each industry has experienced rapid change in the face of COVID-19 and is wrestling with further changes in response to Brexit, technological developments (particularly automation and AI), and the drive towards net zero. These industries offer a diverse range of roles and a number of different E&T routes and qualifications from school-to-work transitions and so provide important insight into broader issues facing E&T and the wider economy.  \nThis qualitative study examines current skill needs and shortages in each case industry, assesses the extent to which E&T provision aligns with employer demands, and highlights other related sectoral and industry specific challenges.
