According to the latest (NZ) Hudson Report for the July-September Quarter:
Hiring intentions in the information technology sector (31.4%) are at the highest level in over six years
More than half of employers (56.2%) surveyed plan to increase permanent headcount
The industry is thriving in the lower North Island, up 18.6pp compared to the first quarter of 2011
The temporary/contracting hiring intentions for the information technology sector are at the highest level (31.4%) for nearly six years
(Accessed August 2011)
Conclusion:
The challenge for both the ICT industry and tertiary institutions is tocontinue to find ways to make a career in ICT more attractive to the femalecohort
: Innovations in Practice Quote:“The under-representation of females in ICT studies and careers results not onlyin a massive loss of talent for ICT companies and economies, but also in atechnology divide that perpetuates disadvantage among women in general andwomen of low socio-economic status in particular.”
