Australian Computer Society (ACS) last month revealed in a report that the number of students graduating from ICT courses in Australia have decreased; this may lead to substantial skills shortage in the sector.

“The society's annual remuneration survey showed ICT salaries grew by 3.9 per cent between May 2011 and 2012 and the forthcoming year could see similar gains. Senior talent, particularly with corporate and commercial skills, will continue to be highly sought after as more organisations embrace digital. Patterson said.
