In the longterm. we need to improve our students education in the math and sciences and attract more students into these areas. Universities need to attract more college students into scientific. engineering. and technical fields. Ultimately. a large part of the responsibility will lie with industry to attract workers into these careers by creating attractive career paths and financial rewards that can compete for the best students. In the short term. hightech industry would like to raise HiB visa caps. But we need to do something more than let foreign workers fill the gap in hightech workers that now exists. We need to train our workforce with skills that fit industrys needs today.
