rdf:langString The Tech Partnership (formerly e-skills UK) is the United Kingdom (UK)'s sector skills council for the information technology (IT) industry, also known as "Business and Information Technology" or "IT & Telecoms." It is based in central London. Karen Price OBE is the chief executive officer. The not-for-profit organisation works to co-operatively address technology-related skills issues through evidence-based advice, services and programmes. It is led by its constituency, to operate in the interests of employers by ensuring that the UK is equipped to compete in the worldwide digital economy. e-skills UK aims to address the current and future needs of the Business and Information Technology sector in the UK, including skills shortages and gender inequality in the UK IT industry. The group publishes the e-skills Bulletin, and the Regional Gap-UK report on skills gaps. The Technology Insights report details which skills are most needed. The group has also developed sets of qualifications for IT workers. The group devised the e-skills passport and IT User Qualification (ITQ) qualifications, as its National Occupational Standards.
