This IDC study presents the worldwide and U.S. IT education services forecast for 2008 through 2012. The forecast includes an analysis of the regional drivers of IT education growth, delivery modalities and illustrates several high-growth computer-related professions that will influence training growth for the period. The study also includes a breakout of the U.S. market by IDC's primary and secondary software markets and illustrates several of the market dynamics in the primary markets that are making those markets attractive as training domains.

"IT education remains a challenging and opportunistic business. Vendors that can focus on the business value of the supported technology will be appropriately responding to buyer skepticism about the business value of training and will be better positioned to support ongoing relationships," said Cushing Anderson, vice president for IT Education and Training Services research at IDC.
