At national, state and regional levels, the ACS commits to create and support initiatives that encourage the entry, development and retention of women in ICT professions generally and within the ACS.  Provides scholarship and career & job information/links.

There are many study options for ICT careers, although a university degree greatly increases the options available to you. Courses that combine ICT with another discipline and those that have strong industry contacts or work programs are gaining popularity. However, it is possible to enter the profession by other routes, such as starting out on an IT helpdesk, and moving upwards as you undertake industry certification and/or vendor training.

Whichever path you choose, however, you can be assured that it’s only the beginning. ICT is so fast paced that a successful career demands you keep your skills and knowledge up to date, and commit to lifelong learning.
