Among CompTIA’s top priorities in the UK and around the world are advocating for the IT industry and IT workforce. “We are the world's largest advocates for the technology industry, focused on emerging technology and closing the skills gap and the confidence gap in the tech workforce," said Hammervik.
The UK Tech Town Index highlights the opportunities available to start and grow in a career in cities and towns around the UK. With more opportunity than ever and the need for a skilled workforce growing, it’s important for businesses to understand how to recruit the next generation of IT pros. Felix Ekman, head of marketing and channel sales at Harmony Business Systems and winner of the CompTIA ChannelChanger Award, joined Hammervik to discuss what businesses need to take into consideration.

Tech Workers Prioritize Growth Opportunities
Recent research from CompTIA suggests that IT professionals and students are willing to move for their career—in fact, 78% of professionals said they would consider leaving their current city for the right tech job. Ekman agreed with this, saying the next generation wants to go where the next challenge is.“I have moved for a job. I’m originally from Sweden and for me, it was the chance the do new things,” said Ekman.
According to Ekman, seeking new skills and new opportunities are top reasons IT pros look to change positions or companies. For the next generation, “a new job is an opportunity to gain new skills,” he added.
