Job Opportunities

The industry has become increasingly multinational. Over the past few years, investment in IT has grown all over the world, with many large firms, such as IBM, having offices across the globe.

The forerunners in technological advancement are still primarily based in Europe and North America. However, there has been a global shift in IT provision as it has become acceptable business practice to rely on offshoring through companies in other parts of the world. For example, the provision of software development and IT-enabled services to UK and US customers has created a niche opportunity for India in the global context.

Offshoring is predicted to increase. This will mean that other low-cost nations, such as China, Russia, Vietnam and Bangladesh, will gain a greater proportion of the technology market internationally. Indeed, China has already become the biggest exporter of IT goods, surpassing Japan, the European Union and the US.
