Report: IT industry will be a boon to U.K. economy
Increasing demand for IT skills will play an integral part in helping the U.K. economy, as a reported 300,000 new workers will be needed to fill jobs in the next decade, a U.K. Commission for Employment and Skills report said. The report noted a dearth of tech skills is hindering digital companies. "To make sure the digital sector really thrives, there’s a clear need for employers to take ownership of the skills agenda and play an active role in training the next generation of IT specialists," said UKCES research manager Rachel Pinto.
