1. Help Desk/Technical Support
2. Programming/Application Development
3. Project Management
4. Networking
5. Business Intelligence
6. Security
7. Web 2.0

9. Telecommunications
On the programming and development front it is important to note that developers with experience in open source will also increase in demand – as it is believed that 40% of IT jobs will be linked with open source by 2020.
In addition to the above, it is predicted that Infrastructure Analysts as well as Business Analyst and Consultants will be in high demand both now and in the future within The UK IT sector. Infrastructure specialists in particular are also increasing in importance because of the growing trend towards SaaS and SOA (Service Oriented Architecture) as well as ‘Green Computing’.
