The study was designed to address two principal objectives: (1) determine the future requirement for high-level ICT skills in the ICT sector in Ireland; and (2) identify what proactive actions need to be taken to ensure that the supply of these skills in Ireland is sufficient for the sector. For the purposes of this report, the requirement for 'high-level' skills refers to jobs requiring a high-level of technical proficiency, typically requiring a qualification in computing or electronic engineering at Honours Bachelor degree (Level 8) or above. It also encompasses roles of comparable level requiring a mix of technical and business skills. The report addresses demand from that component of the enterprise sector, both foreign-owned and indigenous, which is primarily a producer, rather than a consumer, of ICT goods or services.
