Please see the message below from the ACS Foundation with a special offer
for schools.

 

In conjunction with National ICT Careers Week (NICTW) a number of industry
partners of the ACS Foundation have indicated that they are willing to have
their staff come and talk to groups of secondary students about careers in
ICT.  In order to facilitate these visits, we are now seeking an indication
from teachers, careers advisors and schools who may be interested in such
visits.

 

We are looking to having a website where such interest can be indicated in
the future, in the meantime any school should send an email to
john.ridge at acsfoundation.com.au and we will facilitate the introduction to
the industry partners and the visits.  The people who will be conducting the
talks will be a combination of recent graduates and staff who are familiar
with careers in ICT.
