Having just read your story on the shortage of skilled people in IT, I am stunned (Skills crisis sparks
investment in IT ability).

My son is 22 and has an HND with Commendation from Greenwich University. He has been out of work for two years. We have tried everything - but to no avail. He is based at home, works voluntarily, builds his
computers and dazzles us all with his know-how - but still no employer comes to light.
