Information Communication Technology (ICT)
Information and Communications Technology (ICT) is not only a complex and rapidly changing industry in its own right, it is a crucial support service for business as a whole. In a relatively short period of time information and communications technology (ICT) has become an indispensable tool for modern individuals and industries. ICT is not only a complex and rapidly changing industry in its own right; it’s a crucial support service for business as a whole. The industry is characterised by a large number of small businesses employing a fraction of the industry’s workers, and a small number of much larger organisations employing a huge chunk of the ICT workforce. The prevalence of contract based work and the rapid rate of change in the industry present challenges for skill development, but addressing training needs is absolutely essential for Australia’s social and economic wellbeing.
