IT Skill Standards
The US Government has a vested interest in improving the competitiveness of American workers. Information Technology plays a vital role in this objective. Successful industrialized nations maintain their competitiveness, in part, through well-established skill standards systems. Proper application of skill standards helps ensure a workforce that is prepared to function effectively in a technology-based future.

Government can use skill standards to:

  • Help develop a highly skilled, competitive workforce
  • Forecast educational resource requirements and allocate resources using a bias-free and vendor-neutral set of criteria
  • Forecast workforce demands
  • Develop training requirements
  • Develop roadmaps for professional development and advancement
  • Develop educational, training, and workforce policies
  • Increase opportunities for underrepresented populations
  • Develop or enhance links among national efforts such as school-to-work, technical and vocational education, and other programs for targeted populations
  • Research skills characteristics of fast-moving technology-based industries
  • Effectively communicate with other institutions and stakeholders
