This Action Plan is a collaborative effort by Government, the education system and industry.

This report indicates a continuing strong demand for high-level ICT skills with 44,500 job openings forecast to arise over the period to 2018 from both expansion and replacement demand. It concludes that all potential policy levers will need to be utilised to build up the ICT skills supply pipeline including through education, conversion and reskilling programmes, continuing professional development and attracting experienced international talent, including expatriate talent.
