IT Enrollments
September 18, 2002
A recent Washington Post Story detailed some of the changes in campus enrollments in IT majors. The story (which included this chart) ascribed a range of factors to the decline in the number of IT students including "it isn't hip" and "you can't get the chicks with that anymore."
Rooted in data from the Computing Research Association (CRA), the article takes a relatively unsophisticated view of the trends in the pipeline for IT workers. (If you want to take the time to make up your own mind, CRA provides a wealth of market data and industry specific salary surveys.) CRA also produces the "Forsythe List". Though it is not supposed to be used for recruiting purposes, it is a tremendous asset in understanding the dynamics of the local supply of degreed IT professionals.
IT enrollments are going to continue to decline.
The question for companies is simple: how do you guarantee that your requirements for IT workers will continue to be met?
