There will be as many as 182,000 high-paying technology jobs up for grabs in Canada by 2019, but the country's school systems aren't producing enough high technology expertise to fill those positions, according to a new research paper.
The 51-page paper, "Digital Talent: Road to 2020 and Beyond," calls on Canada's federal government to oversee the creation and implementation of a nationwide "Digital Talent Strategy" that is aimed at encouraging more Canadian youth to pursue studies pertaining to information and communications technologies.
The report and strategy were created by a team of Microsoft Corp. and dozens of other corporations and public institutions, including the Ottawa Catholic School Board, and the Information and Communications Technology Council.
