Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's)
Q: Is there any need for more IT professionals in the UK? Isn't everyone going into IT these days?
If you'd rather watch than read: Click on the video above!A: According to government figures, there are around 1.1 Million IT Professional jobs in the UK today.
Yet the last e-skills survey showed a skills-gap of around 26%. That quite simply means that for every 4 jobs that exist in IT, there are only 3 qualified people to do the job.
As a country, we have quite a large intake into IT every year through a variety of training means including University and College, but it simply isn't high enough.
The skills gap is widening and there is an increasing shift towards vendor-based accreditation as opposed to academic qualifications i.e. Microsoft, CompTIA & CISCO certifications rather than A' Levels and Degree's.
So... Yes! There is a substantial demand for qualified IT professionals. 
...And with the constant growth in the marketplace, it looks like there will be for quite some time to come.
