 Australian Computer Society - acute shortage of skilled workers! Australian Computer Society CEO Alan Patterson highlighted a number of issues currently facing ICT in Australia which have the potential to hinder the development the digital economy. These include declining ICT university enrolments, a drop in skilled migration, an ageing workforce; and community misconceptions about the opportunities and rewards associated with an ICT career. "We are seeing capacity constraints emerging in Australia’s labour market, with acute ICT skill shortages at regional, industry and occupational levels" said Mr Patterson. Mr Patterson highlighted key statistics: At least 14,000 new ICT jobs will be created during 2012 and at least an additional 21,000 through 2013 but we are struggling to find the skilled people to fill them. ACS statistical research shows that university enrolments in ICT are currently less than half of what they were a decade ago and that despite a small recovery last year – as a percentage of the total student body – ICT students are continuing to decline. The pronounced decline in ICT education is also evident in the VET sector where a decade ago 75,000 people received an ICT qualification but by 2010 this had declined to 46,000. http://www.acs.org.au/index.cfm?action=load&temID=noticedetails¬ID=1154   Australian Government ICT Entry-level Programs If you are looking for a challenge, can work as part of a team and have a keen interest in Information and Communications Technology (ICT), then kick start your ICT career as an Apprentice, Cadet or Graduate in the Australian Government!
