NEW ZEALAND FACING A DIGITAL SKILLS CRISIS

摘要

NZTech, the organisation tasked with providing the voice for the technology ecosystem, had been collecting input via a digital skills survey which, it says in a statement, was revealing a desperate need to find solutions.For the last five years between 4,000 to 5,000 tech professionals have immigrated to New Zealand. But Covid has stopped this and NZTech says it is choking the pace of New Zealand's recovery.NZTech chief executive Graeme Muller says the survey, which had been in the market for two weeks in early July, showed that the 235 respondents at that point had almost 2,000 open jobs they were struggling to recruit people for.
