The VITTA Office is getting very excited with ICT Week being only just
around the corner. By now you should have received information about ICT
Week in your school but if you haven’t seen it, here’s a short description
about what the week aims to achieve.


ICT Week is a national program which celebrates ICT in all facets of
society, including career pathways and best practice use in schools. ICT is
everywhere in today’s globalised world and skills in ICT are increasingly
becoming highly valued in the workplace. By participating in ICT Week, VITTA
is further committing to building community awareness of the importance of
ICT in today’s technology rich age.


VITTA is pleased to be at the forefront of ICT Week, a long-term initiative
which has become a national celebration in recent years. There are lots of
events planned for next week, including our flagship event, the free *ICT &
Careers Expo* <http://www.ictweek.vitta.org.au/index.php?page=expo> for
students and teachers taking place at Melbourne High School on August 1
(download free tickets from www.ictweek.vitta.org.au), *Natcoll Short
Multimedia Courses* <http://www.vitta.org.au/trainingevents>, a *PixelEd
Industry Dinner*<http://www.vitta.org.au//trainingevents/id/91/title/PixelEd%20Meet%20the%20Industry%20Dinner>,
and some new initiatives including the *ICT Industry Bus
Tour*<http://www.vitta.org.au//trainingevents/id/101/title/ICT%20Industry%20Bus%20Tour%20-%20Applications%20Open%21>(there
are still a couple of vacant places so register today at
www.vitta.org.au/trainingevents). Make sure you get involved in the
celebrations by participating in at least one of these exciting programs, or
by hosting your own ICT Week event in your school or community.


For more information about all of these events, or ICT Week in general,
please visit the ICT Week website at www.ictweek.vitta.org.au or contact the
VITTA Office on (03) 9495 6836. We also look forward to hearing about how
you plan to celebrate the week.



Kind regards,
VITTA Office
