Abstract

Bilgi ve iletişim teknolojilerindeki baş döndürücü gelişmeler, sadece kendi sektörünü değil tüm sektörleri şekillendirmekte, her geçen gün yeni yeni yaklaşımların ve yeni sektörlerin doğmasına sebep olabilmektedir. Bundan on yıllar önce ismine değinmediğimiz konularda yeni yeni meslekler ortaya çıkarken, yeni teknolojiler yeni sektörlerin veya iş alanlarının doğmasına neden olmuştur. Bazı meslekler ise tarihin tozlu rafları arasına katılmıştır. Çalışma, bu hızlı dönüşümün farkına vararak bilgi teknolojileri sektörünün ihtiyacı olan yetkinlikler üzerine kapsamlı bir değerlendirmek sunmaktadır. Sektörün ihtiyaçları ve beklentileri, var olan meslek dallarının gelişimi, bilişim sektörü açısından eğitim kurumları, sektörün güçlü ülkeleri ve küresel oyuncuları ve sektörün oluşturma potansiyeli olduğu istihdam gerçeği ile konu detaylı olarak değerlendirilmektedir. Bilişim sektörü, içinde bulunduğumuz dünya gerçekliğinde en önemli ve kritik sektör olmasına rağmen, sektördeki istihdam, sektörün beklentileri ve gelecek konjonktürü gibi konularda pek çalışmaya rastlanmamıştır. Sektörün kritik önemi ve Türkçe literatürdeki bu yöndeki eksiklik çalışma için ana motive edici unsur olmuştur. Elde edilen bulgulara göre, Türkiye’nin sektör ihtiyacını karşılamak için eğitim kurumları açma konusundaki girişimi, her ne kadar sayıca az olsa da, dünya ile paralellik göstermiştir. Fakat sektör sorunları, gelişimi, sektörün talepleri, meslek profesyonellerinin sıkıntıları konusunda Türkçe literatürde önemli bir boşluk mevcuttur ve uluslararası literatür geriden takip edilmektedir. Türkiye'de bilişim sektörünün daha fazla gelişebilmesi için Ortadoğu ve Balkan ülkeleri ile özel girişimlerde bulunulabilir. Ayrıca sivil toplum kuruluşlarının Türkiye’nin bilişim sektörünün gelişmesi için kıymetli bir noktada bulunmaktadır Dolayısı ile bu sivil toplum kuruluşları üzerine gelecek çalışmalar için daha kapsamlı çalışmalar yapılması önerilmektedir.

AN ASSESSMENT ON THE COMPETENCIES NEEDED BY THE INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY SECTOR IN THE DIGITAL AGE

Abstract

The incredible advances in information and communication technology are reshaping not just their own sector, but all sectors, and may result in the introduction of new methods and new industries on a daily basis. While new professions have evolved in fields previously unmentioned, new technology has resulted in the formation of new sectors or economic domains. Certain occupations have been consigned to the dusty shelves of history. Recognizing this fast change, the research provides an in-depth examination of the competencies required by the information technology sector. The issue is thoroughly examined in terms of the sector’s demands and aspirations, the growth of current professions, educational institutions in the IT sector, the industry’s strong countries and global participants, and the job opportunities that the sector has the ability to produce. Although the information and communication technology sector is the most vital and significant in the world in which we live, there are few studies on topics such as employment in the industry, sector expectations, and the sector’s future trajectory. The crucial relevance of the industry and the dearth of information about it in the Turkish literature served as the primary impetus for the study. Turkey’s endeavor to establish educational institutions to satisfy the sector’s demands, albeit minor in number, shown parallelism with the rest of the globe. However, there is a significant gap in the Turkish literature on the problems of the sector, its development, the demands of the sector, and the problems of the professionals, and the international literature is followed behind. Special steps might be taken with Middle Eastern and Balkan nations to help Turkey’s IT sector grow. Additionally, non-governmental groups are critical to Turkey’s information industry growth. Therefore, it is recommended to carry out more comprehensive studies for future studies on these non-governmental organizations.
