"It is immensely encouraging to see such an enthusiastic response from schools and colleges to the introduction of the new Diploma in IT. We, along with our employer partners, are very much looking forward to working with the consortia now preparing to offer the Diploma, particularly those aiming to start delivery in 2008. The Diploma heralds a new era in education, and we are delighted to be able to harness the support of industry in providing these exciting opportunities for young people."
