Following the launch of our Technology Manifesto in July 2009, which set out to create 250,000 new technology jobs in the next 10 years, we welcome this endorsement for the sector from Lord Mandelson. However, more still needs to be done to create young professionals with the skills and desire to join upcoming technology companies to help them take their businesses onto the global stage. As businesses grow, they have a requirement for energetic people with two to five years experience, who can, cost-effectively, help them evolve their operations. All too often these individuals have to be recruited from outside the UK.

The development of these individuals needs to be accelerated and, to this end, as well as the plans laid out by the government, business schools and universities around the UK need to create and run courses specifically designed to nurture graduates who want to pursue careers with dynamic IT companies. The creation of such courses would be in league with both Government and industry and could well be the catalyst to hitting the ambitious target above.
