The majority of UK IT managers are worried about an apparent lack of skilled IT workers in the UK, according to a survey released today.
Six out of 10 of those questioned in HP’s annual Pressure Point Index survey felt that there was a serious shortage when it came to finding staff with the relevant skills.
Campbell Robertson, managed services director for HP in UK and Ireland, said that this is despite a growth in the number of IT staff in the UK.
“The market is growing and the numbers of people enjoying good careers in the IT marketplace is at an all time high. It looks like that trend will continue for some time,” Robertson told vnunet.com.
“If you look at all of the major IT organisations, HP included, they all drive large scale graduate recruitment programmes and that is a response to the market.”

A load of nonsence in many cases.
Despite having over 20 years of experience in IT, I have found it impossible to get a job in IT. NOT because I could not do the job, but instead because I don’t have a degree on the CV!
People forget that experience is worth far more that a bit of paper.
Wise up!!

Why don’t you get a degree on the CV instead of having the experience all that time?
