Kent Institute Australia Bachelor of Information Technology

Why Study ICT  (Industry Insights & Future)

The ICT industry is currently grappling with a substantial shortage of qualified IT workers, both in Australia and globally, as underscored by various reports and studies. According to the Australian Computer Society’s (ACS) Digital Pulse report (2019), Australia is projected to face a shortfall of over 100,000 IT workers by 2024. This shortage encompasses a broad spectrum of IT specializations, including cybersecurity, software engineering, data science, and cloud computing. Similarly, a study by Deloitte Access Economics for the ACS (Digital Pulse 2021) revealed that the demand for digital technology workers is growing at twice the rate of the broader workforce. This shortage is not unique to Australia; it is a widespread challenge observed across the globe. Reports from the World Economic Forum and the European Commission also highlight the growing skills gap in the ICT sector worldwide. Factors contributing to this shortage include the rapid pace of technological innovation, evolving job roles, and insufficient investment in education and training programs. Addressing this shortage necessitates collaborative efforts from industry, government, and educational institutions to cultivate a skilled IT workforce capable of meeting the demands of the digital economy.
