Recent evidence suggests that the IT industry is poised to recover from the recession faster than any other sector.

The Government’s Skills Framework for the Information Age (SFIA) has defined 290 different IT job roles. These are organised into categories:

• Strategy and planning – continuity management, information or systems architecture, consultancy
• Business change – project management, business process testing, change management
• Solution development and implementation – programming, analyst roles, systems integration
• Service provision and client interface – helpdesk, supporting operations or infrastructure
• Procurement – procurement management, account handling
• Ancilliary skills – teaching and training, sales and marketing.

The current Government’s Digital Britain programme could also have a major impact on the UK jobs market. Its aims are fourfold: to modernise our communications infrastructure; develop a new legal framework; improve inclusion at all levels of society and modernise government through the use of technology.

• The average IT trainee earns around £30,000. Your salary will be directly related to your qualifications and experiences, so once you’ve finished your training your salary will increase accordingly.
