Recently I read in the Austrian newspaper “Der Standard“ an article investigating if there are enough IT professionals available for Austrian companies. The journalist, Gregor Kucera, interviewed several opinion leaders from the chamber of commerce, social union, leading IT companies and drew the following picture of the future.
At the moment there are enough IT professionals available to fill most job offers because of the economic crisis. The problem will come in about 10 years. Before the dotcom bubble a lot of young people wanted to become IT professionals because of the high salaries. These have dropped in the recent years and are currently only little above other branches. As a consequence less and less young people want to go into that direction.
Do you have similar prognosis in your region? Or is it different?
