A new report calling for a national strategy to address a mismatch of skills and a lack of upskilling in our lucrative IT industry, finds our IT sector is over-reliant on overseas recruits and isn't properly developing home grown talent. An Industry Transformation Plan has found a block in the skills pipeline is preventing the industry from developing. The report recommends a transformation in the industry's culture to enable a greater level of skills development. Report author Paul Matthews joins Kathryn to discuss the state of NZ's tech industry and what needs to come next.
