The Canadian Coalition for Tomorrow’s ICT Skills (CCICT) is an industry-led coalition of employers, universities and industry organizations, founded by Bell Canada in 2007. Our aim is to ensure that Canadian organizations can hire the information and communications technology (ICT) professionals they need to meet the changing and diverse needs of the 21st century workforce.

The CCICT seeks to achieve practical solutions to an alarming decline in ICT-related post-secondary enrolments (30-40%), historically low female participation (25%), and significant shifts in demand – against the backdrop of a growing need for every industry to embrace the tools and methods of the knowledge economy. Career choosers and their advisors (parents, teachers, the media) often don’t know about the exciting ways that ICT-related careers are changing.

CCICT’s mission is to bring Canada’s 21st century technology-related careers to the forefront.

In 2011, CCICT launched CareerMash and a career week initiative in partnership with government, our corporate members, and leading industry organizations including the Information & Communications Technology Council, TechnoCompétences, the Information Technology Association of Canada, and the Canadian Information Processing Society.

An undergraduate degree that combines business, ICT and real world experience

Designed by a national committee of leading employers and university educators, Business Technology Management (BTM) is the digital economy version of Management Information Systems (MIS) and similar programs. It includes technical skills, ICT knowledge, leadership, business analysis, and project management skills and provides a key component that manages the transition from graduation to employment.
