SKILLSET HELP SHAPE 'WORKING ON IT' SERIES

SKILLSET have had a key part in the development and production of a ‘Working in IT’ series for the BBC 2 Learning Zone, which will broadcast during November.
Dinah Caine, Chief Executive of Skillset, said: “IT skills are critical in most industries these days but even more so in those such as ours. These programmes can be used by both individuals and trainers to upgrade knowledge and skills and it’s also very satisfying to see NTO’s working together like this.”
Work on the series began at the beginning of the year with Skillset helping to shape the form and content of the programmes. The BBC Learning Zone provides a nightly learning service which aims to get individuals ‘in’ or ‘on’ within a specific sector. The ‘Working in IT’ series covers areas including, information about career opportunities, the history of computing and tips on running a business.
The schedule involves two weeks of programmes, which are repeated during a four-week broadcasting period.
