10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:blue'>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!</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>

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!!</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
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:place
w:st="on"><st1:country-region w:st="on">Australia</st1:country-region></st1:place>).
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 size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
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 size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
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>
