Foil 11 Impact of IT worker Shortage

From Overview of Purpose and Futures for MRA Workshop MRA Workshop on Network Based Education -- June 26 98 Datemod;June 26 98. by Geoffrey Fox


So depending on the source, one finds a shortage of 100,000 to 300,000 workers in Information Technology today -- this is forecast to grow with 1 million more jobs created by industry by year 2004
Note a lot of IT opportunities are in applications -- more than "basic systems"
So Internetics is natural skill set to address IT worker shortage and certificates offer interesting possibility of linking this with other educational fields
  • e.g. Internetics minor with a basic physics/engineering major
  • good educational background for science educators and journalists
