Abstract

Information Technology (IT) is finding its way rather too quickly into the job markets in the developing countries. There is a growing demand for IT trained staff but no specific dimensions have been provided for the types of graduates needed in the local marketplace.A survey has been carried out of a wide cross section of IT employers in Egypt, as a typical example of a developing country with great potential for technological advancement. The objective of the survey was to identify the employers' present employment patterns as well as their needs for trained personnel in the IT field, at present and in the near future.
