IT job vacancies continue to soar

[SPDAY]

There has been a 14pc increase in job vacancies in the IT sector
to 9,200 in just seven months, according to a Dublin City
University (DCU) survey

A similar survey carried out by the university in May 2005 showed
vacancies of 8,100 and prompted concerns about a shortage of Irish
graduates to fill the positions

Government Ministers have warned that Ireland's economy could
suffer in future because of the shortfall in numbers taking up
science and technology as a career

DCU Professor Michael Ryan said it now seems certain that more
than 60pc of the new jobs being created will be taken up by highly
skilled immigrants

"Clearly the bad publicity associated with the dot.com collapse
still blinds Irish students and their advisors to the reality of
the Irish software scene," he said.

"They don't realise that the industry has recorded substantial
growth in turnover and exports in every year since 1991, and is a
world leader, with over 900 companies and exports of EUR16
billion, roughly 20pc of all Irish exports.
