IT jobs in Italy are growing at a moderate speed . Although the Italian Government is investing a lot of resources in developing the latent sector of IT jobs in Italy, yet lack of training and suspicious attitude towards new technology is hindering the spread of the new sector.
Italians appear to be held fast with one foot on the shores of a technological haven and the other in the morass of officialdom , and mistrust. Probably this was not so apparent until now because, historically technology has progressed at a lazier stride, therefore the juxtaposition between the old and the new was not so obvious. Whereas, now technology is changing at very high speed making Italy's unstable placement more evident and its following steps increasingly crucial. At present, Italy is just starting to adjust to Internet technology while on the other hand the use of a cellular phone is already in a developed stage . Hence like the rest of the world the Italian IT sector is also courting the Indians.
The two most important criteria in getting a career in the IT jobs in Italy are the dexterity in computers and its application in various sectors and fluency in English . The main recruiters in the It jobs in Italy are the British and the Americans , and therein lies the importance of knowing English. Although the Italians are taught English in primary school yet very few Italians actually gain any real proficiency in it. This is proving to be a huge handicap for native Italians in the field of scoring It jobs in Italy. Similarly the attitudinal problem of looking at all non-traditional technologies with suspicion is also costing them It jobs in Italy.
The Italian Government has identified the problem and has launched a massive program for bringing all educational institutions online allowing the diffusion of information technology and English.
