About PITCOM | www.pitcom.org.uk 

At a time when ICT has become pervasive, most legislation has an ICT content. PITCOM provides a forum for MPs, peers, senior civil servants, academics and ICT professionals to exchange information and opinions.

PITCOM was founded by MPs and peers in 1981 to build a bridge between Parliament and the IT industry. PITCOM addresses the public policy issues generated by ICT and their application across the public and private sectors of the UK economy.

About e-skills UK | www.e-skills.com

e-skills UK is a not-for-profit , employer-led organisation, licensed by government as the Sector Skills Council for IT & Telecoms, and lead body for Contact Centres.

e-skills UK's mission is to ensure the UK has the skills it needs to compete in the global economy. e-skills UK brings together employers, educators and Government to address together the technology-related skills issues no one party can solve on its own.

e-skills UK provides advice, services and programmes that have a measurable impact on IT related skills development in the UK. e-skills UK's Computer Clubs for Girls (CC4G) is one of these programmes. CC4G is changing the way girls think about technology and IT careers. This award-winning initiative, which is already benefiting more than 116,000 girls in over 3,200 schools, captures students' imagination at an age when girls typically become disinterested in IT.
