Editor's Note
=============
As the pace of technological change continues to quicken, IT skills
become ever more important. By some counts, the number of people
engaged in IT training is rapidly catching up those in softskills
training; a glance through any training magazine demonstrates the
number of training providers whose business is just IT training.

We're boosting the IT training content on TrainingZONE very
significantly. Carrol Rowe is our new editor responsible for this
area and she is already publishing news and features on IT and IT
training on the site. Every week there are tenders and jobs for
IT trainers advertised on their respective pages. This week there
is an online workshop for IT trainers and this month a new IT
Trainers newswire is launched. Full details can be found below,
so do let your technology trainers know!
