The Information and Communications Technology Council was founded in 1992 as the Software Human Resources Council one of 31 sector councils funded in part by the Government of Canada's Sector Council Program.[1]

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:

career awareness, capacity building solutions and professional development
