Liberty Global and Telecentre Europe created an infographic (Is there a job in
ICT for me?) to help telecentres to addresses young Europeans, unemployed
and job seekers, raising their awareness about the required digital skills in order
to access ICT careers.
High Unemployment across Europe
In January 2014, in the European Union there were:
26 million people unemployed
Total unemployment 10.8%
Youth unemployment 23.4%
But ICT jobs are in demand!
While people struggle to find jobs, it is estimated that there will be 913,000 unfilled ICT jobs by 2020.
Why the gap?
In 2006 ICT graduates peaked at 127,000 but by 2011 fewer people were trained: 115,000.
This means 9.5% fewer ICT graduates since 2006.
