Deadline for skill-shortage survey approaching
Deadline for skill-shortage survey fast approaching
Organisations have less than two weeks to ensure their views are counted in an online survey of this country’s ICT skill shortage.
The Ministry of Economic Development and NZICT Group surveyed NZICT members in March to identify particular shortages and develop short-term strategies. NZICT hopes to build on this picture by extending an amended version of the survey to other ICT organizations, government agencies, and major business users of telecommunications.
The survey will become an industry-wide, annual event. Data gathered will help inform long-term ICT-sector strategies.
Survey questions include whether organisations are experiencing difficulties recruiting staff, what organisations current practices and perceptions are relating to staff retraining and employing graduates, what impact the Government’s planned broadband roll-out may have on skills availability and what immigration-related issues impact on their business.
The survey takes 10-15 minutes to complete, and is available on the home page of www.ict.org.nz. Due to demand, the deadline for responding has been extended to 11 September. Results will be released later in September, and respondents may request a copy.
