个人在知识经济中竞争所需的技能强调改善一般的科学、技术、工程和数学教育，特别是信息技术教育。了解信息和通信技术（ICT）在生活的各个方面的潜在用途，制定了指导IT技术人员教育和IT工作者未来技能的教育议程。以前的研究集中在本科IT学位的价值，但没有足够的信息技术教育可能对学生就业成功和劳动力市场的影响。本研究探讨了目前的IT专业学生的工作能力的期望，在IT大学课程，确定新的IT专业人员需要的实际工作能力，并描述了这些能力和西北佛罗里达雇主招聘职位报告的人员需求之间的一致性。本文介绍了为期四年的美国国家科学基金会先进技术教育（NSF ATE）项目的初步调查结果，评估信息技术教育途径，促进农村宽带的部署和使用，其中IT技术人员的教育是从学生和新的专业的角度来看，努力研究IT工作者如何满足雇主的需求。
The skills that individuals need to compete in the knowledge economy place the emphasis on improving science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education in general and information technology (IT) education in particular. Understanding the underlying use of information and communication technologies (ICT) in all aspects of life sets the educational agenda that guides IT technician education and the future skill sets of IT workers. Prior research has focused on the value of undergraduate IT degrees but not enough is known about the impacts that IT education may have on student employment success and the labor market. This study examines current IT students’ job competency expectations provided in IT college curricula, identifies the actual job competencies new IT professionals need, and describes the alignment between these competencies and the staffing needs reported by northwest Florida employer job postings. This paper presents preliminary findings of the four-year, National Science Foundation Advanced Technological Education (NSF ATE) project, Assessing Information Technology Educational Pathways That Promote Deployment and Use of Rural Broadband in which IT technician education is viewed from the perspective of the student and new professional in an effort to examine how IT workers meet the needs of employers.
