What is ICT?

Is there really going to be an abundance of jobs in ICT? Or is this the “Gold Rush” of 2017?

2022? What about NOW? Computer Electronics and Products are our #1 Goods Export. Software is our #2 Service Export.

What can WE do to help close the emerging gap of ICT job openings and qualified college graduates to fill those positions?
