Is a lack of IT education holding people back?
The technology industry is booming, and the demand for skilled professionals has never been higher. However, there is a significant barrier preventing many talented individuals from entering the tech field: a lack of (or inadequate) IT education. Let’s discuss.
Common Challenges in Tech Businesses
A recent report from BAE Systems revealed that 42% of the British public believe that a lack of proper IT education in schools has restricted their ability to enter the tech sector.
As a result, many individuals who could be making incredible contributions to the tech world are missing out on opportunities in an industry that needs fresh, diverse talent.
At Corecom Tech Academy, we understand the challenges businesses face when hiring tech talent – skills gaps, training demands, high turnover, and slow hiring. That’s why we’re committed to replacing traditional hiring processes with a faster, more effective way to secure highly trained tech talent.
Our Mission at Corecom Tech Academy
We don’t just train people. We recruit, develop, and place passionate individuals into meaningful tech careers. Our services focus on collaboration with employers, ensuring that we provide them with project-ready talent that meets their specific needs.
We also prioritise diversity, bringing wider perspectives into the industry to help drive greater innovation and growth.
Our goal is simple: to make tech accessible to everyone, not just those who took the linear route. If your organisation is looking to tap into a new pipeline of skilled professionals, we’re ready to deliver.
How can Corecom Tech Academy help?
A traditional education route shouldn’t be the only pathway into the tech industry.
Many people from non-tech backgrounds, career changers, or those without formal IT education have the potential to thrive in tech. They just require the right opportunity and support.
That’s why we offer alternative, accessible pathways into tech careers using two flexible services: ‘Recruit and Train’ and ‘Recruit, Train, Deploy’.
Service 1: Recruit, Train, Deploy
We offer an accessible pathway into tech through our Recruit Train Deploy service. Hired by us, this service provides our Associate Consultants with practical, hands-on experience that mirrors real industry challenges, so they gain the in-demand skills employers want and are fully prepared for their tech careers.
Our expert-led training offers a wide range of tech specialisms, including:
- Software Engineering – Learn the latest programming languages and development frameworks to build innovative software solutions.
- Data Engineering – Gain expertise in managing and optimising large datasets to help organisations make data-driven decisions.
- Cloud & DevOps – Master cloud technologies and DevOps methodologies to help businesses scale and optimise their operations.
- Quality Engineering & Testing – Become a critical part of the software development lifecycle, ensuring products are robust, secure, and high-performing.
- Business Analysis – Understand how to translate business needs into technical requirements, helping companies make informed decisions.
- Cyber Security – Equip yourself with the skills to protect businesses from cyber threats and ensure their data and systems remain secure.
Service 2: Recruit and Train
We also offer a Recruit and Train service – working with you to hire suitable candidates for your business while supporting your recruitment and onboarding process. This is followed by us providing successful candidates with full-time intensive training.
Our technical instructors cover a range of key tech specialisms, processes, and tools that meet the needs of the client.
After training is complete, your new team is fully prepared to start working on your projects.

Our Academy is committed to closing the skills gap and creating a more diverse, inclusive, and skilled tech workforce across the UK.
We are dedicated to ensuring that talented individuals have access to the skills, support, and opportunities they need to succeed in tech, while helping UK businesses grow with skilled tech talent.
