Apprenticeships could compensate for a likely IT talent
drain from public services as the private sector benefits from a recovering
economy and the public sector endures continuing
austerity.
In
it's latest briefing Apprenticeships: a solution to staffing
issues? Socitm says that talented personnel shifting from the
public to private sectors in search of better pay and prospects present a
looming problem for the sector, with public service employers in southeast
England already reporting severe competition from the finance sector in
London.
The
briefing describes the The National Apprenticeship Service (NAS) and its
offering for ICT. It also includes a case study from Chelmsford City Council,
which has developed a successful apprentice scheme to provide additional staff
for its service desk.
Apprenticeships: a solution to staffing
issues? is available free of charge to Socitm Insight
