Attracting students to ICT Study and Careers - Teachers Role

Teachers play an important role in influencing young people’s decisions on course and career pathways.

The majority of young people do not consider ICT as a career option, yet the technology sector is growing rapidly and globally. As companies need to work smarter in tough economic times, young people with technology skills are in demand.

Multimedia Victoria will provide an outline of the Victorian Government’s ICT skills initiatives aimed at increasing the number of skilled ICT workers in Victoria – such as the successful ICT: Start Here. Go Anywhere careers awareness campaign and plans for continuing the campaign in 2010.

Multimedia Victoria will also outline how you can help to support the campaign and get the message across to inspire students to pursue the diverse and exciting opportunities an ICT career can provide.
