ICT graduates should not have to be fully ‘job ready’
IThere’s a strange contradiction in the ‘key messages’ coming out of the Australian Workforce and Productivity Agency’s just released ICT Workforce Study. It says that the supply of ICT skills has not kept pace with demand, and it also says that ICT graduates have trouble finding jobs in ICT.
ICT sector to expand but skills not there, says Government
OPINION. Good news: The local ICT sector is "poised for a period of rapid expansion". Bad news: "the domestic supply of ICT skills has not kept pace with demand". Worse news: Plans to improve supply are not completely convincing and so we may see yet more offshoring and 457 workers.
