New Majors for the New Jobs in ICT Today:

“The IT industry in Queensland is experiencing strong growth reflecting the strength of the local economy. We need more good quality graduates with highly developed problem solving skills to work on the many challenges that today’s society presents to us over a wide ranging field of applications.” ─ John Puttick, Chairman of GBST Holdings Ltd.

 

 

 

 

 

"ICT is now an important element of any organizations operation and future success. We are seeing a shortage of ICT professionals across the country. Not only are traditional business and government organizations relying more and more on ICT capabilities today, even scientific research is being held back by a shortage of computational scientists. These skills are needed to help us better understand and manage the environment, undertake medical and drug discovery, to name just a couple of areas critical to Australia's future. It is a great time to be taking advantage of the UQ's excellent ICT offerings so as to start on the path to an exciting and rewarding ICT career." ─ Bill Trestrail - Vice President (AsiaPacific), Silicon Graphics.
