The role of information technology institutions in organizations' growth and development through training

Abstract

The main purpose of the study was to identify the role of IT institutions in the growth and development of organizations. It seeks to clarify the differences between the government and private organizations in terms of their adoption of IT related skills and training their employees to this end. More private companies were found to embrace training of their employees as compared to the government institutions. Productivity and job retention was found to be higher in the private sector due to the skills that are assimilated while working. Factors such as modernization, globalization and use of internet were found to contribute to a lager extent in compelling institutions to move from manual to computerized systems at work places The government is called upon to review the ICYT policies and make the sector more attractive to all especially in schools and colleges. This will improve the literacy levels tremendously.
