Management Skills in High Demand, Few Training Locally
A striking detail in this week’s data is the yawning gap between demand and supply for management expertise on the Island. With 47 live vacancies and a robust median salary of £45,000, management roles are clearly in demand, yet University College Isle of Man currently offers just 7 dedicated courses in this area. While Business & Management more broadly boasts the most vacancies and a healthy 49 programmes, those specifically aimed at management are thin on the ground. For anyone considering their next step, this signals a golden opportunity: upskilling in management could open doors to well-paid roles that local employers are actively struggling to fill—making it a shrewd move for the career-minded Manx resident.
