Computer Networks and E-Technologies (4+1)

1. General information

In this direction the Government of the Republic of Macedonia in its program provides a range of projects that go towards raising the level of presence of information technology and building the information society. Among other things, the Government has already provided financial support to students studying informatics at universities in the country. The commitment of the Government is also arising from the statements of some IT companies in Macedonia, foreign and domestic, for lack of qualified IT staff. The representative from the economy stress that the economy will be forced to move their IT centers outside the country if this trend of lacking quality IT manpower continues. In early 2007 the ICT chamber at the Chambers of Commerce official has warned the government for insufficient number of trained IT staff. This expected growth of IT industry will cause increased demand for IT personnel, and consequently an increased number of specialists and masters.
