ENABLING PEOPLE AND COMPANIES TO THRIVE IN THE DIGITAL WORLD
The Foundation for Young Australians (FYA, 2017) estimate that 70% of young people currently enter the workforce in jobs that will be "radically affected by automation". Further, 40% of all Australian jobs are at high risk of automation in the next 10 -15 years. FYA estimates that more than half of Australian workers will require the skills to "use, configure or build digital systems" in the next 2-3 years.
The fundamental restructure of the Australian labour market that is now on the horizon is generating significant demand for future-focused skills. The demand for professionals with digital skills is significantly outstripping the capacity for traditional education providers to supply graduates. The OECD estimates that there are 2.6m workers in ICT-related roles in Australia in 2017, while traditional education providers produced just 8,000 graduates in ICT fields.
