IT skills provider Computeach has
challenged the government to provide more support for adult learners looking to
retrain in IT.
The government already provides grants for adults to improve their basic
numeracy and literacy skills, and for national vocational qualification (NVQ)
studies.
But there is no specific funding for those looking to switch into an IT based
career through study in professional IT qualifications, the training company has
complained during Adult Learners Week.
“With a significant skills gap in industries demanding professional
qualifications such as IT, there needs to be support for individuals to move
from one industry to the next,” said Computeach chairman Karl Parkinson.
Computeach believes the government should help not only through grants, but
also through provisions for flexible working that help workers find the time to
study IT courses.
