Bringing back ICT - Overturning a decline in ICT students

There was a recent article titled "Jobs go begging as students shun IT courses<http://www.theage.com.au/technology/technology-news/jobs-go-begging-as-students-shun-it-courses-20120612-208be.html>" in The Age that the number of students studying ICT in Year 11 and 12 and at university has decreased so dramatically that many Australian ICT jobs remain vacant. Many of you will be aware of this problem, seeing the number of students in your classrooms drop each year.

As a response, an associate professor at the University of Sydney said that universities and schools needed to work together to address the problem. We are very proud of our secondary school support program, which aims to raise awareness and create interest in ICT careers and courses. The faculty of ICT has been working with Victorian schools for more than 4 years and supports teachers and students by offering curriculum enrichment programs. We are committed to raising awareness and educating students about the possibilities and opportunities in the ICT industry. If you would like to know more about our secondary school support program, please visit our website.
