Canadian Coalition for Tomorrow's ICT Skills
The CCICT aims to ensure that Canadian organizations can hire the information and communications technology professionals they need, with the knowledge, skills and talents that meet the evolving and diverse needs of this exciting field. The CCICT is an industry-led multi-stakeholder initiative that seeks to provide practical solutions to an alarming decline in ICT-related post-secondary enrolments (30-40%) , low female participation (25%) , and significant shifts in demand – against the backdrop of a growing need for every industry to embrace the tools and methods of the knowledge economy. We have close to 100 members, including leading employers, educators and organizations in Ontario and across Canada. Our research found that young people misperceive ICT-related careers as desk-bound and boring. They are unaware of the variety and creative potential of today’s ICT-related careers. Our Digital Jobs of Tomorrow Project includes: 1. A “National ICT Career Week” for young career choosers and influencers. 2. A “Web 2.0” style Digital Jobs of Tomorrow Career Hub for next generation IT-related careers that becomes the go-to place for young career choosers.
