The article focuses on the growing demand for specialist skills in e-publishing in Great Britain. Until recently, the publishing people seeking employment offered non-vocational degrees, but now, as new formats and platforms are emerging, specialist skills are needed to be acquired through skill based degrees. The students are now choosing to take up part time degrees in technical e-publishing content, while working in the industry at the same time. The University College London in London, England is the country's first institution dedicated to world-class teaching and research in e-publishing. An effective collaboration among the publishers, training providers, and publishing educators is required to meet the growing demand for skilled professionals in the industry.
