SLIM - Skills and Learning Intelligence Module

The Skills and Learning Intelligence Module (SLIM) exists to bring information and intelligence on skills and learning to policy makers and practitioners across the South West.

As a 'module' of the South West Observatory, our aim is to enable programmes and projects that promote skills and learning to be informed by the best available evidence.

This site provides access to growing archives of labour market research, networks, data, news and good practice, and information about us.

If you have difficulty finding the information you need, please call our Helpdesk on 01392 264850.

Many publications available to download on the site are in PDF. If using Adobe, please upgrade your PDF viewer to Adobe 9.
