The tech sector, including workers in tech-based occupations in other sectors, is the 9th largest employer in Australia.

With 723,334 Australians employed in the technology innovation sector, the Australian tech sector accounts for 5.7% of the workforce, experiencing an average growth trend of 2.5% since 2011, outpacing overall labour market of 1.7%.

By 2024, 90 per cent of Australians will need to use some level of digital skills at work.

AIIA Skills Hub – Building Australia’s Digital Workforce

Workers today face the challenge of growing career volatility as their jobs are increasingly impacted on by emerging new technologies and automation. At the same time, employer organisations struggle with the question of how best to address their changing capability needs and having a ‘future fit’ workforce. Not only must organisations support talent development within their workforce, but do so in a way that enables measurable performance improvement.

The AIIA Skills Hub provides a ‘place to go’ for building new skills and developing new workforce capability in totally new ways.
