IT has become one of the bedrocks of British industry, so much so that it is widely believed to be one of the most important economy drivers for the next decade. It is not suprising, therefore, that ensuring the right skills are available within the UK workforce is critical to the long-term productivity and global competitiveness of the UK.
"The recent announcement of Government backing for the National Skills Academy for IT is excellent news, not only because it provides resounding acknowledgement of the role that IT has to play in the current economic recovery, but also in the future development of the economy," commented Steve Elliott, Director of SFW.
