IT Professionals Fear Growing Skills Gap

IT Professionals Fear Growing Skills Gap

Nearly three-quarters of IT support professionals believe that the skills gap in the UK is growing. The lack of people entering the profession was cited as a major cause of the problem by 55 per cent of those surveyed.


"If the UK is to stay ahead, it needs to attract high quality staff both nationally and internationally. And it needs to tackle the ever-growing skills gap," said Alex Farrell, managing director of The IT Support Job Board which conducted the research.

The survey questioned over 400 UK-based IT support professionals.
