Australia is facing a technology skills crisis. Enterprises everywhere are having trouble finding the people they need to carry out key roles in their IT departments in just about every discipline, from data analytics to cloud computing and cyber security.
A February 2021 report by RMIT Online with Deloitte Access Economics claimed that Australia needs 156,000 new technology workers with 87% of jobs requiring digital skills. Further, more than half of the Australian working professionals surveyed said they have little to no understanding of coding, blockchain, AI and data visualisation.
