The challenge

The programme addresses a real and important challenge for the UK - ie the fact that, due to the impact of globalisation,  new IT professionals must progress rapidly to higher level roles without access to the traditional 'entry level' jobs that would help them to build their skills and experience.

The solution

The IT Professional Development Programme will enable new IT professionals to rapidly build a strong foundation of competence in the early years of their career. The programme will be modular, with modules covering technical, business, project management and communication skills, among others.

Strong support

The programme has strong employer and university support. Employers representing a quarter of all IT and Telecoms professionals in the UK are already backing the programme. e-skills UK is uniquely placed to make this happen - building on its successful track record in uniting employers with education in programmes that make a real difference to skills development.
