Triangle Regional Skills Analysis - Share Your Thoughts

Deadline: May 2

The quality of our current and future workforce is increasingly seen as the most important factor in our region’s economic growth and vitality. To address this and improve the employment pipeline, we are sharing a survey developed by the Greater Raleigh Chamber and Capital Area Workforce Development Board to better understand skills gaps and employer needs.

We are seeking business owners and HR professionals in the Research Triangle Area to participate in the 2026 iteration of the Regional Skills Analysis. The study was previously conducted in 2023, 2020 and 2017. The survey is being conducted by RTI International, an independent non-profit research institute.

The objectives of the survey include the following,

Understand both short and long-term hiring needs;
Inform training and education providers of the current workforce needs;
Provide current workforce information for policy makers in workforce, education, and economic development;
Develop an effective cradle-to-career talent pipeline strategy; and
Create an efficient structure for ongoing industry feedback.

The survey will take less than 15 minutes to complete. As a thank you for your participation, there will be weekly prize drawings for local favorites and gift cards. You will also be entered to win a grand prize of $1,000 to the Umstead Hotel and Spa.
