Why Johnny cannot get a tech job
Then InformationWeek points to this contradiction: CIOs complain about poor communication skills and lack of business knowledge among the team. The CIO says those are the critical skills least likely to be outsourced. But they hire entry-level people--and focuses entirely on technical skills like programming that are most likely to be outsourced.
Or when kids do try to get business and other skills, the best colleges are rejecting them in record numbers.
Wow, we have raised the most tech savvy generation ever - it would be a shame if our tech business - CIOs and the industry - cannot take advantage of this labor. Especially if it is based on the flawed assumption that outsourcing/offshoring is cheaper.
