As Australia aims to reach 1.2 million tech workers by 2030, significant challenges remain. Despite recent migration reforms, the Tech Council of Australia reports that 160,000 young Australians need training to enter the tech workforce.

“While Australia punches above its weight in founding local tech companies that are globally successful, only 1% of Australia’s tech workforce has scale-up experience, compared to 17% in Singapore,” states TCA CEO, Kate Pounder.

The global tech skills shortage, intensified by the pandemic and rapid digital transformation, has heightened the need for innovative hiring strategies. Border closures further restricted access to overseas talent, increasing the urgency for effective solutions.

Outstaffer, a leading full-service global EOR, announces its upcoming virtual webinar, “Hiring Great Tech Talent in APAC,” which will address the tech talent shortage in Australia and the APAC region. The event will be held on Thursday, June 20, 2024, from 12:30 PM to 1:30 PM AEST via Zoom.
