Dear Teachers,
>
> One of the most common requests we receive from teachers is about ICT
> courses and careers posters for the classroom. In response to this we
> have developed two posters  - one on courses and one on career pathways
> for you to put up around the classroom (see attachments). These posters
> were sent out recently to all Victorian Secondary Schools so you should
> be receiving them shortly. The aim of these posters is to assist
> secondary school students gain a better understanding of the wide range
> of courses and careers in Information and Communication Technologies
> (ICT).
>
> There are many different types of ICT undergraduate courses offered at
> University’s throughout Australia that span Software Development,
> Network Security, Telecommunications, Information Systems, Games
> Development and Multimedia.  Each of these degrees can lead students
> into a variety of careers in ICT including Network Analyst, Software
> Designer, Systems Analyst, Security Consultant, Web Developer and
> Business Analyst.  The Australian Computer Society (ACS) expects demand
> for ICT professionals to show solid growth over the next ten years with
> no signs of slowing down - so it's important for young ICT students to
> start learning about what area of ICT they want to get into.
>
> The course poster has been designed to help students align their ICT
> interests to the relevant course being offered.  For example, a student
> interested in Business and IT can view the courses listed under Business
> Information Systems, while a student interested in software design can
> view the courses under Computer Science and Software Engineering.  The
> careers poster highlights the many different industries that depend on
> ICT as well as the range of creative and challenging employment
> opportunities available in each industry.
>
> If you do not receive these posters  by the end of this week and would
> like a copy for your classroom, please let me know and I am more than
> happy to send you out a copy.  Alternatively, if you think that the
> careers teacher at your school would like a copy as well, please let me
> know.
