Spokesperson for AGCAS claims that IT skills training for teachers is growing in importance as pupils become more comfortable with technology.
A high level of computing expertise among young people is making IT skills increasingly important for the nation's teaching staff, it has been claimed.
The Association of Graduate Careers Advisory Services (AGCAS) believes that greater efforts must be taken to ensure that all UK teachers have access to sufficient IT training, with computers becoming more involved in school lessons than ever before.
Elspeth Farrar, communications director for AGCAS, said that teachers without adequate IT skills are likely to be "easily intimidated" by computer-literate children.
She explained that, with technology set to play an important role in the school curriculum over the next few years, IT training for teachers is likely to emerge as a key issue.
"It's very important that teachers are given the opportunities to get fully trained and feel confident," Ms Farrar said.
She added: "Not all teachers will have had as much exposure to working with computers.
"It's important that they get the training to make them feel confident to work and use computers as an integral part of the way they deliver their curriculum."
Ms Farrar said that younger generations of schoolchildren are now as familiar with using a computer as they are with "eating and drinking", although she also suggested that more could be done to familiarise youngsters with "office systems" during their time at school.
Martin Johnson, deputy general secretary of the Association of Teachers and Lecturers, recently claimed that UK schools have some of the best IT facilities in the world.
