Computing and especially software is eating the world: the largest bookseller (Amazon), the largest video service (Netflix) the largest marketing & business intelligence company (Google) are all software companies1.
Computing includes the top 3 skills required to succeed in the future working environment: Complex Problem Solving, Critical Thinking and Creativity. It is also thought to be the top industrial sector for 2020, as claimed by the highly acclaimed World Economic Forum.2
The demand for computing professionals is high, greatly exceeding the supply. This has triggered initiatives such as the CodeWeek in Europe and the Hour of Code in the United States with the aim of encouraging more young students to take an interest in coding. Our staff have also launched the highly successful Code Cyprus initiative to promote the value of coding & computing in Cyprus.
