Digital Media
The design industry is an important contributor to Australia's economy, both in their own right and because their skills underpin growth in other industries. An important trend in the innovation and business industries is the blurring of sectoral borders due to converging technologies. Examples include the convergence of telecommunications and information technology, the overlap between printing and the cultural industries in areas such as graphic design and digital media, and the overlap between printing and ICT in areas such as variable data printing and business process control. Such overlaps and areas of common interest will create the need for shared protocols.
Other important trends affecting the industries include the increased demand for blended, flexible workforces, transferable skills and employability skills. These skills are required in areas such as innovation, business, finance, information technology, OHS and training compliance. The innovation and business industries have a high level of occupational spillage, with a significant proportion of people in innovation and business occupations employed in other industries.
