Almost 0% of Tech Workers Are Indigenous
Bolstering the number of Indigenous
Australians entering the tech industry would improve diversity measures and alleviate the talent shortage at the same time.
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people make up close to 0 per cent of the tech industry.
In parallel, it’s estimated that STEM professionals will make up 75 per cent of the Australian workforce by 2025.
