Want to achieve IT skills, but don’t want to go to college?
Want to achieve IT skills, but don’t want to go to college?
Training and acquiring new skills should be a lifelong process as workplace requirements change and evolve, in line with new legislation, new technology and new work practices. Yet the majority of British workers fail to renew their skills, or acquire new ones, throughout their working lives, often falling behind school leavers, particularly in fast moving fields, such as IT.
With the British government driving new initiatives to encourage more and more workers to train, unskilled workers who are already falling behind in today’s technological world will find it more and more difficult to retain work or to advance their careers.
The IT industry in particular continues to demand more and more engineers, software technicians, website designers and IT competent office workers, so the need for sound and comprehensive IT training is growing ahead of virtually any other field.
IT-phobics go back to school, without ever leaving home
IT-phobics go back to school, without ever leaving home
It’s easy to be IT-phobic when everyone 5 years old and upwards, appears to be adept at the internet, e-mailing, social networking, even shopping at their favourite supermarket without leaving the comfort of their own homes. Yet it’s so easy to have been among one of the many tens of thousands who were left behind when the IT revolution overtook the world during the past 25 years.
Stay at home mums who had babies and families in the 1980s and 1990s find themselves left high and dry when it comes to IT. Designers who were used to the old `cut and paste’ system suddenly found their scalpels and spray glue had replaced by computers. Secretaries who were adept at word processors, can now be foxed by word processing, book-keepers who enjoyed their long-hand, double entry ledgers are faced with strange and impersonal looking on-screen spreadsheets.
