"We're not seeing a drop off or some of these major programs' work scaled back. I would hazard a guess that we should have a look at it again in three to six months to see if there really is any impact but at the moment it's not like we've a huge volume of people entering the workforce generally as many as there are leaving and we've got a major shortage in our ICT area."

But the latest jobs reports from recruitment trackers such as Olivier Group indicate a decline in the amount of IT&T jobs advertisements, something which Ms Howard is at a loss to explain, especially since the negative reports contradict a recent hiring intentions survey conducted by Diversiti.

"We haven't seen that at all," says Ms Howard. "we sent out a survey to a number of hiring managers - a selection of procurement, HR, internal recruitment and project managers. Out of that we got 371 respondents across various locations and disciplines."

Ms Howard says that the survey revealed that IT&T jobs growth is as strong as ever.
