Technology
Our society increasingly relies on technology, so clearly conveying its impact is crucial. Proof has an impressive list of technology clients, specialising in the areas of cyber security and IT education/learning technologies.
Cyber security
The public profile of cyber security has never been higher.
The UK government’s £650m investment in our cyber security efforts has given organisations in this sector the recognition they deserve.
It’s now up to each of those organisations to demonstrate their role in this growing sector and to help justify the spend of public funds on something that the majority of the public still struggles to understand.
IT education
Rapid technological changes are driving business investment in IT as a way to increase productivity, efficiency, and cut bottom-line costs. But buying kit (whether virtualised or actual) is only the first step.
A technically-skilled workforce is essential for successful implementation and use – people are the key to unlocking technology’s potential impact on an organisation. The existing IT skills gap in the UK is therefore preventing business growth and personal development.
Increasing public and corporate perceptions of IT education is pivotal to solving both problems.
For employers, closing the skills gap means helping them achieve maximum return from their investment in technology.
For employees, it boosts their career opportunities.
Proof is working with organisations throughout this sector. Whether they design qualifications, develop course materials, or use the latest technologies to enhance the learning experience we are helping them demonstrate the importance of technology skills and learning technologies to employers and employees alike.
We have:
- Built CompTIA’s global reputation as the benchmark for vendor-neutral technology certifications
- Launched Dell Education Services in Europe
- Launched the Cyber Security Challenge UK to businesses, education institutions and government
By doing so we have:
- Increased public and employer understanding for the importance of technology certifications
- Encouraged employers to consider technology education and skills as a critical part of their business development plans
- Helped make the case for increased public sector funding into cyber security skills
- Made the UK a recognised pioneer in finding new, innovative ways to finding hidden cyber security talent
