Companies in the IT industry looking for government funding to help them increase recruitment, including graduate employment, will need to commit to skills training. An announcement by John Denham, skills secretary, at a summit between the Department of Innovation, Universities and Skills and IT employers said that government money must go towards companies who will provide talent for the future. According to e-skills, the Sector Skills Council for IT, the industry will need 131,000 new employees a year for the next decade and the majority of these will be graduates needing training. John Denham, skills secretary, said: "Wherever possible, government spending should not just provide good public services, it should also ensure young people are trained in the skills we need for the future." Those looking for graduate jobs during the recession may wish to look at the utilities, technology or public sectors for a greater chance of employment, according to a new report. A Talent Q survey recently showed that 56 per cent of IT sector employers are looking to increase the number of graduate jobs they provide, according to Onrec.com.
