I am undergoing the following project/white paper for my Certificate in Education course:
“An investigation into the influence on employers of applicants’ IT qualifications with particular reference to CLAIT: A small-scale study of how IT qualifications are viewed by employers”
I am putting together a questionnaire which will be emailed/posted to a cross section of recruitment agencies in the UK.
This is a legitimate project which I hope will give an indication as to whether the vocational courses I teach are actually getting people interviews for jobs.
I feel that many employers do not fully appreciate the value of some job candidates who posses basic IT qualifications (i.e. Word processing, spreadsheets etc.).
I would appreciate some input on the type of questions I should pose to recruitment agencies to get the best value out of the project.
I am hoping to put together sufficient questions to make the project worthwhile but not too many that would put people off.
