Demand for candidates with ICT skills in the UK now outstrips supply, according to Sector Skills Council e-skills.
The latest Labour Market Bulletin from e-skills shows that the number of advertised vacancies for ICT staff rose for the fifth consecutive quarter to a total of 101,000 positions, while the unemployment rate for ICT staff fell to 3.1% as opposed to 8.3% for the workforce as a whole.
This news tallies with the large number of graduate vacancies being advertised recently at cumbria.prospects.ac.uk
