RDA framework 'could create new IT jobs'

A new framework designed to help regional development agencies (RDAs) to stimulate growth around the UK could lead to the creation of more IT jobs.

The Partnerships for Growth scheme will extend the work of these organisations to pursuing national goals for skills, innovation, enterprise and investment.

As part of this remit, RDAs try to increase employment throughout the regions and to coordinate support that is hoped will enable future growth to be unlocked.

Mick Laverty, chief executive at Advantage West Midlands, claims that the new framework gives these groups a key part to play in encouraging sustainable growth.

He says: 'We are business-led and business-liked organisations which have a good track record of translating national policy into on-the-ground delivery in the regions.'

The government recently announced that it will be investing £2.5 million in the Scottish videogame industry.

Minister for creative industries Sion Simon recently claimed that support from the government will enable the sector to fly the flag for UK innovation.
