The opening of a National Skills Academy for IT in the UK has moved a step closer, after the government announced it has approved the business plan submitted by sector skills body e-skills UK.
In October 2008 the government gave the green light to a tech academy on account of IT’s “critical” role in growing the national economy, and because of strong and growing demand for tech workers – more than 140,000 new IT recruits are required by the industry every year, according to e-skills UK.
