As the recovery swings slowly into motion, employers are concerned that the UK workforce won't be able to provide the tech skills that industry needs.

Employees with Stem qualifications are in demand, with 72 percent of businesses saying they rely on Stem-skilled staff, according to the survey sponsored by Education Development International.
