How many IT graduates will we need in the future, where will they be trained and what skills should they have? Excited has participated in the Conference for higher education 2023, which was organized by the Directorate for Higher Education and Skills. The event took place on 20-21 September with the University of Agder as host. The theme of the conference was quality and availability for future needs. We participated in a panel session on dimensioning in higher education. The panel included representatives for education in science, health and IT, all of which are areas with a great need for people with relevant skills in the coming years. From the IT perspective, Excited, as a Center for excellent education, can contribute with insight into how we can help students in the IT education to achieve relevant competence through the teaching we offer.
