Global Challenge in Computer Science
Growing Skills Gap
US Bureau of Labor
Statistics projects
700,000 shortage of
qualified CS
graduates by 2018. European Commission
projects 700,000
shortage of technology
workers by 2016.
McKinsey Global
Institute projects
1,500,000 shortage of
data-savvy managers
and analysts by 2018.

Computer Science Education Is Important
Well-paying jobs for
the foreseeable
future will require CS
knowledge and
experience.
Globally there are
more jobs available
in CS than there are
workers to fill those
jobs.
As a global
population, we are
increasingly
dependent on
computers for our
security, well-being,
and convenience.

Computer Science Education
CS skills transcend most 21st century professions
and are fundamental to college and career readiness

Computer Science Education Today
 The challenge:
– There is a global skills gap between the number of students graduating in CS and the number of
skilled CS workers needed to support the global economy
 The solution:
– More students need to graduate with bachelors degrees (minimum) in CS
– More students need to enter the CS pipeline at younger ages - arguably as young as elementary
school – and be served by a continuous curriculum pathway into CS
 Oracle Academy can help meet this challenge
