Unprecedented global economic growth, driven primarily by technology advances, will continue to strain Canada’s capacity to meet the demand for workers with ICT skills.
A new report released by the Information and Communications Technology Council (ICTC) suggests with the expected growth of smart and hyper connected marketplace will mean there will be 182,000 unfilled jobs in the sector by 2019.
With 31 per cent of surveyed employers indicating they already have difficulty or delays in filling ICT positions due to a lack of suitable talent, the study authors make it clear homegrown ICT talent will not meet the demands of business over the next five years.
