to a recent study by the German industry association BITKOM open in Germany is currently around 45,000 places for IT professionals. So there are in the ICT industry open IT-19 000 points, other 26 000 provide the user industries. According to BITKOM President Prof. August-Wilhelm Scheer, the financial crisis had appeared to have had hardly any impact on the labor market for IT professionals. The number of vacancies is slightly higher than the previous year. In other words, the opportunities for IT professionals in this country are still very good. Sun had about one-third of the 1,500 surveyed IT companies currently on one or more to offer open position in their companies. Provide by far the most jobs, the provider of software and IT services .
High on the wish list are software developers who are sought by two-thirds of ICT companies with free IT-related bodies. Also sought are project managers and IT consultants. This is mainly due to the manpower needed for today's IT projects due, which consist primarily of consulting, individual programming and training. Since 2000, software companies and IT service have created about 100,000 new jobs in Germany. With 518 000 jobs they are now the majority of the total 829 000 Jobs in the ICT sector. In contrast to the ICT industry are among the users in the trade, demand in manufacturing and other industries, especially IT administrators who are responsible for the smooth operation of IT systems. The shortage of specialists is therefore remains a serious problem for the ICT industry. 46 percent of the surveyed IT companies say that they feel the lack of specialists directly. These "In absolute numbers, by about 11,000 jobs, which did not or could be filled only with difficulty," says Scheer. The result was an economic loss of around one billion euros.
How much the current financial crisis in the medium term, however, to the operations impact in the ICT sector will be, is currently difficult. Although defuse the lack of experts with the sagging economy, "there is but one demographic, structural bottleneck for highly qualified young professionals in virtually all technical disciplines and computer science," said Scheer. In the coming years, a baby-boom generation of highly qualified technicians bye to retirement. Scheer asks why: "The education system in Germany is still not able to meet the coming needs of the economy. Must therefore remain the reform of the education system and modern immigration rules on the agenda of politics.. "
