Over the years the Software Human Resources Council evolved, and once the Canadian Government began to stop funding the sector councils, the organization re-branded to become the Information and Communications Technology Council.
The organization adopted its new name in October 2006 to reflect an expanded mandate[2] of strengthening Canada's digital advantage in the global economy. It delivers forward-looking research, practical policy advice, and capacity-building solutions for individuals and businesses. Its goal is to ensure that technology is utilized to drive economic growth and innovation and that Canada's workforce remains competitive on a global scale.
The Information and Communications Technology Council provides:
- emerging technology research
- labour market intelligence and economic analysis
- career awareness, capacity building solutions[buzzword] and professional development
- consumer research
- policy advice
