Meeting the IT-skill shortage in Europe head-on

摘要

The IT Personnel crisis is global afflicting many areas, including the US, Australia and Europe. In this paper, we report and evaluate on-going approaches in Europe from both practice and academia. We focus especially on the CEPIS projects that aim at addressing the IT skills shortage. We then examine how research projects based on theoretical and conceptual premises in Norway can enhance these practical approaches. We propose ways of integrating the two approaches, and incorporate human resource processes to successfully meet the IT needs of organisations.
