Benefits of SFIA

Why we need SFIA

• give employers a framework which they can use to measure the skills they have against the skills they need and identify skill gaps
• allows ICT practitioners and users to benchmark which skills they need for particular jobs or career paths
• gather Labour market intelligence coherently and consistently
• quantify the skill requirements of the ICT market
• identify skills which are in short supply, or report on how short the supply is
• set national education and training targets for the IT community
• tell education and training providers what the job market wants

SFIA enables the measurement and benchmarking of an organisation’s collective ICT skills and its processes for managing and developing these.
