Strenghts of Estonian ICT labour pool
Innovative talent pool: Estonia has long enjoyed an international reputation for technical expertise, coupled with innovation.
Deep supply of all experience levels: Estonia offers an incredibly rich variety of ICT skills, to accommodate applications that are being developed and those that are being maintained.
Age profile assures long-term supply of talent: The proportionally high level of young workers within ICT suggests that it remains an attractive long-term proposition for local talent supply. This is supported to some extent by the emergence of more niche oriented specialisms, such as gaming.
High levels of education: ICT has a higher than average degree/post graduate education level, which will bode well for future co-operative ventures, perhaps encompassing Engineering.
Multi-skilled workforce: Estonian ICT professionals can already meet skills demand for "hot" sectors such as green initiatives and renewable energy.
Foreign language ability: Estonia can operate as a global hub, supported by foreign language ability within its ICT sector. English represents one of the four most highly spoken languages amongst the ICT workforce.
