CoderDojo is a major initiative around the country in the context of education. I have young kids and there are a significant number of computer camps, even at primary level. The future for IT will be strong. More women are being brought into the industry as a result. Traditionally, it has not had much female representation.

I presume FIT can be used by people who find themselves unemployed to begin a new career and that it is not aimed just at 18 and 19 year olds.
