Abstract: The rapid developments in Information Technology continue to drive the need for Information Technology practitioners to keep their skills up to date. Educational institutions with Information Technology and computer related programs of study must also keep current of the new technologies as they prepare students to enter the job market. This paper analyzes data from the corporate community to determine what specific changes have occurred in IS/IT job skills and job postings over a three year period from October 2003 to October 2006. Specifically, this study seeks to determine if jobs postings between 2003 and 2006 have changed at a level that is statistically significant.
Keywords: IS/IT workforce, IS/IT skills requirements, University Corporate Relationships, IS/IT Curriculum Development
