The ROI Academy™ has been contracted by e-skills UK to measure the value of the ITQ to corporate clients. The ITQ is a qualification based on building capability in the use of IT systems and software. The ROI Academy is developing a case study looking at the impact of the ITQ programme within a major National Retailer.

e-skills UK is aware of anecdotal evidence suggesting that the return on investment to an organisation that invests in the ITQ for staff can be substantial. Genny Dixon, programme manager at e-skills UK, said "We wanted to turn anecdotal evidence into hard facts to support the business case for ITQ. We chose The ROI Academy to do the work because they have a practical, business model approach to valuing training."

Hedda Bird, Founder Director of The ROI Academy said "Even in the first stages of our work we have uncovered substantial benefit to the client from the ITQ. We are delighted to be contributing to a process that could lead to these benefits being widely taken up across the workforce."
