color=#0000ff size=2>Thank you very much for this resource. I intend to use it
extensively to highlight to the girls that ICT is a terrific career to enter
into. At the commencement of the school year, we were presented with
statistics of where the Class of 2006 went onto with regards to their tertiary
choices, and unfortunately I don't recall any students studying an IT course. In
sharp contrast, when I worked in boys schools, the boys would choose an IT
course even at TAFE level as a fall back plan...especially if they did not get
into the course of their choice!</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=923342421-04032007><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2>Just as TV shows have made some careers irresistible such
as CSI (Forensics), Greys Anatomy (Medicine), LA Law (Lawyers) etc,
perhaps we need a TV show that will sex up ICT and students will flock to it,
and classrooms will be bursting with eager students wanting to do ICT again!!
Those were the good old days! I guess we can only dream!!</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">One of the things that I am
passionate about VITTA ‘doing better’ is helping promote ICT careers to students
in Victoria and giving teachers as much assistance as possible to get this
done. Earlier this year we met with representatives of the Australian
Computer Society in order to find out some concrete things about the ICT
industry in <st1:State w:st="on">Victoria</st1:State> (and indeed,
<st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place
w:st="on">Australia</st1:place></st1:country-region>). The information
that we were able to obtain is contained in this presentation and makes for very
interesting reading!<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>

<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">We all know that there are
opportunities in the ICT industry, but our students are not getting the
message. We are fighting a number of battles – students still think the
ICT industry is reeling from the ‘dot-com’ crash, careers teachers and parents
often give advice that steers students away from ICT subject choices and the
media is not really aware of the needs of the industry (choosing instead to
focus more ‘news worthy’ topics such as the out-sourcing to foreign
countries).<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>

<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">VITTA has a number of things planned
to promote ICT careers to students. This presentation is one of the first
resources we will be providing to you. Please feel free to show this to
all of your classes – no matter the year level. Other teachers such as
coordinators and careers advisers may also wish to make use of it. I would
love to get your feedback on the presentation – and by all means, please let me
know if you find anything that can be added to it, and if you want to suggest
ways in which it can be improved.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
