IT Career Framework • The concept of the IT Career Framework was developed with the goal of painting a clear picture of the jobs and skills which we will need in our future organisation so that we can communicate these clearly to all IT employees and give them the ability to assess their own skill and capability levels and to address these through a self-driven learning delivery system
