  1. Advisory Panel Meeting City College of San Francisco Downtown Campus Friday, May 1st, 2009 To Provide ICT Workforce Study Input

  2. Computer, Networking, Telecommunications and Information Technologies have largely developed and evolved separately: • in different academic departments, • in different companies and R&D groups, and • in separate departments within organizations • Those previously separate areas are converging rapidly. • From many to fewer devices • From multiple networks to single multipurpose networks • From many to fewer organizational departments • This trend is frequently called “Convergence” in the U.S.

  3. What is ICT? An umbrella term, widely used outside the U.S. and in the United Nations, to encompass all rapidly emerging, evolving & converging: computer, software, networking, telecommunications, Internet, programming and information systems technologies.

  4. Information and Communications Technologies ICT ICT is a super-set term. It does not replace any sub-set terms

  5. United Nations The United Nations, for example, uses ICT in its: Global Alliance for ICT and Development, a global forum and platform for policy development, Information & Communications Technologies Task Force and UNESCO.

  6. European Union The European Union uses the term ICT, for example: in its ICT Task Force, which conducts research and develops policy recommendations, and at CORDIS, for strategic R&D. EU foreign aid efforts focus on ICT in Latin America and Africa, China, Southeast Asia, and the rest of the world.

  7. Australia ICT is used in Australia, for example, by the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO), its national science agency and one of the largest and most diverse research agencies in the world.

  8. Others Also using the ICT term are New Zealand, much of Africa, Canada, the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) and the World Bank. The term ICT is emerging as global standard terminology.

  9. Curiously, ICT is currently rarely used or recognized in the U.S. The Mid-Pacific ICT Center and the National ICT Center have adopted the term and are championing its use as a global standard in the U.S. In a global knowledge economy, dependent on ICT, we should have a common framework.
