Outlook 2011-2016: is the fourth in a series of labour market reports issued by ICTC since 2008. The report is wholly new and more comprehensive than its predecessors. Providing a comprehensive array of fresh data on the state of HR for ICT employers along with an informed projection of the ICT landscape five years from now and recommendations on steps the sector can take today to address key areas of concern, Outlook 2011-2016 was developed to serve as a tool for action for the entire spectrum of Canada’s ICT stakeholders.
