Enrolments in information technology (IT) courses offered at Charles Sturt University (CSU) at Albury-Wodonga increased significantly in the second half of 2009, says the Head of the University’s School of Computing and Mathematics, Associate Professor Irfan Altas. According to Professor Altas, demand from local businesses has also increased, with “the School constantly receiving inquiries from Border businesses to employ CSU graduates and students, some before they have even completed their courses. Local businesses who already have CSU graduates working for them have also congratulated us for preparing them to be ready for the workplace.” Professor Altas says CSU prepares IT and computing science graduates to work in the global marketplace as well as local businesses.
