Companies want to know that IT training and development will provide their employees with the right technology skills at the right level. When recruiting people to work in or with IT, they want to be able to look at a CV and understand exactly what someone should be able to do. All this depends on the National Standards for IT - the industry-wide 'language' for technology skills which ensures that everyone involved with IT is trained, assessed and developed against consistent measures.
The National Standards are being updated for 2007 and employers are being offered a unique opportunity to help ensure they meet business needs.
e-skills UK, the Sector Skills Council for IT and Telecoms responsible for the National Standards, is holding a series of exclusive events for employers to listen to their views and opinions. There will be two half-day meetings at each event, one focused on the needs of IT professionals and the other on those of IT users. Seven events have been scheduled across the whole of the UK with the meetings scheduled such that attendees can take part in both meetings.
For further information or to register for these events, please visit www.e-skills.com/consultation.
