With an estimated 218,000 new skilled ICT workers needed in Canada by 2020 to meet the short term demands of our digital economy, focus on our educational system to address this challenge is paramount.

With changes in our provincial educational pipeline well under way, we are still early on in deploying a comprehensive response.
