Abstract

Rapid advancements in North America’s IT sector has contributed greatly to the economic growth, low inflation, high-wage job creation, low unemployment, solid increases in productivity, and improvements in quality of life of the continent. Widespread deployment of digital technologies throughout the continent and the ongoing transformation to a knowledge-based economy has created strong demand for workers who can create, apply, and use IT. The demand for these workers goes beyond the IT industry, cutting across manufacturing and services, transportation, health care, education, and government. The IT professions are among the fastest growing and highest paying jobs and despite the downturn in IT-related industries, there is still demand for highly skilled technical workers. And this high rate of growth in IT professional occupations is expected to continue over the next few years.

The 10-year occupational employment projections prepared by the Bureau of Labor Statistics indicates that, between 2000 and 2010, there will be 2.5 million new jobs for IT professionals resulting from growth in the occupations and the need to replace those leaving the profession. Responding to the high demand for IT workers, state and local governments have undertaken a variety of initiatives, often in partnership with the Federal Government, industry, academia, and nonprofit organizations, to provide IT education, training, and retraining to current and prospective IT workers, including both students and those seeking to change jobs or careers. In striving to keep their skills up-to-date, IT workers face challenges, the cost of training programs, finding appropriate training, finding time for training, and balancing career development with their persona life and family responsibilities.
