INTERESTING REPORTS & ARTICLES

The Economic Contribution of Australia's Tech Sector Report

"The Australian technology sector is a critical pillar of the Australian economy, and an important accelerator of jobs and growth. 

The tech sector has matured and accelerated through the COVID-19 pandemic and is

now one of the most important drivers of growth in the economy, contributing 8.5%

to GDP and employing one in 16 Australians.

Australia’s future workforce will require IT skills and training to succeed in an increasingly digitised workplace. A strong pipeline of tech sector workers will also be necessary to ensure we are able to capture the sector’s full economic potential and support the case for increased investment. It is forecast that Australia will need an additional 60,000

tech workers per year over the next five years. Download and read the report below.

FUTURE OUTLOOK - FINDING YOUR WAY IN A CHANGING WORLD OF WORK.

This will lead to new jobs being created, and new skills may be needed for existing jobs. How can you find your way in a changing world of work?" When you’re thinking about work and study options, it can be helpful to understand.

HOW TO BECOME AN ANALYST - INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY

Analysts define software requirements and specifications, and guide program design and development. The analyst's role sits between the initial business analysis stage and the detailed system design, building and programming stages of the systems development process.  To become an analyst you usually have to complete a degree in information technology, information systems or computer science.

To get into these courses you usually need to gain your Senior Secondary Certificate of Education. Prerequisite subjects, or assumed knowledge, in one or more of English and mathematics are normally required.
