EU and industry join up to fill 900k ICT jobs

A coalition between EU governments and industry has been launched to fill the estimated 900,000 jobs in ICT currently unfilled.

Despite the huge number of vacancies, the number of ICT graduates has dropped in the past few years while, at the same time, the number of young Europeans out of work has risen to a quarter on average.

Ireland, which hosts some of the biggest names in ICT, has at least 5,000 unfilled vacancies.
