정보통신을 포함한 범용기술 변화가 급격한 사회에서는 고용된 근로자들에게 새로운 기술과 능력을 갖추어 주고 노동시장의 요구에 신축적이고 신속하게 반응할 수 있는 지속적인 직업교육훈련이 실시되어야 할 필요가 있다. 그러나 정보통신산업의 빠른 성장과 전략적 중요성에도 불구하고 국내 정보통신 산업과 관련된 직업교육훈련에 대한 현황 파악, 인력수요 예측 및 경제적 기여도 분석이 미흡한 수준이다. 본 논문은 이러한 변화 속에서 지속적인 경제 성장을 달성하고 동시에 국가경쟁력에 큰 기여를 하고 있는 정보통신산업의 경제적 기여도, 노동시장 현황 및 인력수요에 대한 전망을 분석하였다. 국가경쟁력의 핵심인 기업 경쟁력 강화와 직결되는 노동시장에서 직업교육훈련 현황을 파악하였다 또한 직업교육훈련의 효과를 측정할 수 있는 경제적 이론 모형을 제시하고 직업교육훈련이 기업의 생산성에 미치는 효과를 최근 사례연구의 결과를 분석하여 시사점을 도출하였다.
