Digital technologies in schools support high-tech NZ workforce
Although the recession has hit the New Zealand workforce hard, and there are less jobs available, the IT sector is one area crying out for new graduates. The Digital Technologies Guidelines (DTG) project that has been operating in a number of secondary schools throughout New Zealand, is working to alleviate this problem by equipping graduates for the ICT sector.
