This week, a report by the Confederation of British Industry revealed that 45 per cent of employers are finding it difficult to take on workers with high STEM skills, while 51 per cent predict recruitment problems will get worse in the future.
Dan Hawes, co-founder of the Graduate Recruitment Bureau, said that the current job market is full of opportunities for people proficient in STEM disciplines.
'They are a very attractive audience for recruiters because they can bring a lot of skills and are highly intelligent and they will be in demand with companies who want managers of the future,' he commented.
Mr Hawes also suggested that IT job applicants should strive to differentiate themselves from other candidates by taking any available internships and completing relevant training courses.
Earlier this week, Investec chief economist Philip Shaw predicted that the jobs market will start to improve significantly at the end of 2010 or the start of 2011.
