The information, communication and computer technology (ICT) industries are growing rapidly in Australia. Most businesses are small, employing less than 20 people and offering good opportunities for building a career in a small, dedicated team.

ICT is now also embedded in almost everything we use - from cars and washing machines to refrigerators and toys. You could also work on the making of innovative new mobile phones, wireless technology, smart card and touch screen technology, automated ticketing systems, automatic telling machines, digital video systems or even supercomputers.

Careers in the ICT industries contribute to the communication and processing of digital information, using electronic networks. They include the operation and set up of computer aided machining and programming systems.

You could also be servicing mechanical, electrical and electronic controls in equipment such as industrial robots, fluid power systems and advanced manufacturing centres.
