IT shortage

Locked

Some people believe that there are no shortage in IT industry.
They have required ‘item/years of experience’s
and they can not find job.

As governments of several countries increase quote
for foreigner IT workers
I suppose there is some kind of shortage in IT.

But what is this shortage?
What kind of IT workers do firms need?

IMHO the shortage mainly lies in these areas:

– network specialists (admin,support,consultants etc.)

– programmers

reason for that is that companies finally realize that a) they can push productivity and efficiency by adopting modern IT
b) they eventually will loose out against the competition that realised a) earlier.

as the demand for these specialist only “recently” appeared the school systems did not put enough emphasis on IT related skills and booom there we are. (… I could be totaly wrong of course and there are more factors playing into this… 😉 , but I guess that’s the gist of it.)
