Bring IT On was formed to address the skills shortage and employability issues within the IT sector in Northern Ireland. The programme is funded by the Department for the Economy, in partnership with colleges and universities to encourage and educate young people about the career pathways into the IT industry. As an advocate for the IT industry, we provide advice and guidance on the qualifications required to obtain an IT role and the benefits of working in the sector as well as showcasing the opportunities and benefits of careers in IT. We do this by raising awareness of the great diversity of options in this exciting and ever-changing sector. We run events, speak at schools, attend job fairs and work with employers, careers advisers, IT teachers, parents, and carers to promote job opportunities available in IT throughout NI.

The programme facilitates links with the further education and university sectors by designing key training solutions and supporting recruitment and other pre-employment activities.
