IS Job Index 2024 Coming Fall 2024!

The AIS Temple University IS Job Index is a key resource on the placement, demographics, jobs, and knowledge of the entry-level Information Technology (IT) workforce.

Led by Temple’s Institute for Business and Information Technology (IBIT), the 2022 report featured more than 1400 job market entrants from 36 universities across the United States.

In 2024, the Association for Information Systems (AIS) will become IBIT’s lead partner, particularly in publishing and disseminating the result. The opportunity for universities to participate in the 2024 IS Job Index is now open at https://isjobindex.com/call-for-participation-2024/.

We are very pleased to expand our long-standing partnership with Temple’s IBIT in producing this important resource for current and prospective students, faculty, deans, and industry.
