TERN is an independent research and consultancy organisation specialising in the following subject areas:

• Employment;

• Learning and Skills

TERN operates with a small core team headed by Kenneth Walsh, supported by a network of organisations and individual experts in the United Kingdom, other EU Member States and other countries. Appropriate research teams are formed through these networks according to individual project needs. This approach is reciprocated with TERN working on projects for other organisations, thus significantly increasing the experience base.
