Information technology gives great jobs earning great money with a
great lifestyle
Information technology careers are one of the most rapidly growing
career pathways available. Information technology jobs give you:
* a chance to combine any or all of your interests into one job
* a career that will put you in demand across a dynamic industry
where re- training is easy
* a good chance for fast promotion
* good choices in job flexibility: work at home, in the office,
part-time, casual, full time...
* and, of course, excellent salaries!
GREAT OPPORTUNITIES COMING UP
People with Information technology skills and qualifications will be
needed in our businesses, in our governments, in our communities, and
in our daily lives.
Information technology will continue to be in demand in the banking,
healthcare, telecommunications, education, entertainment, transport,
manufacturing, tourism, primary industry, security, environmental
management, and many other areas vital to our economy and communities.
That means that now is the time to be studying information technology
at and after school.
