Industry groups join forces to fight IT labour shortage

Very interesting article showing how IT industry associations and private sector companies are partnering to try and develop solutions to the current Labor & Skill Shortages.

Interesting quote:

"The Information and Communications Technology Council (ICTC) and CIPS said they hope to address an anticipated labour shortage of 89,000 workers by 2011."

That is just astonishing. I wonder if that stat means skills shortage and not labour shortage. I am trying to track down the formal definitions of both those terms.

Anyways, check out the article by clicking on the heading.
