ABSTRACT

The French spend more time learning about IT than their British counterparts. According to The European eLearning Market Report 2002, by Bizmedia, the French undertake 78 hours of IT training each year, compared to 68 hours in Great Britain. To some degree, the extra time spent by the French in the classroom is paying off, because France's IT skills shortages are nowhere near as severe as the other two major European economic powers, Great Britain and Germany, both of which suffer from the worst skills shortages in the EU. When it comes to high-end IT skills, the major players in France are pretty much the same as those elsewhere.
