ANN: SURVEY - Recruitment & Retention of Ada staff

["John Robinson" <John@JohnRobinsonAndAssociates.com>]

The Ada UK User Group is working with Silver Software Consultants to
undertake a survey on the problems of recruiting and retaining Ada
programmers.

Survey forms are currently available and all in the Ada community are
encouraged to contribute.  Although the survey is primarily focused on the
UK,  others are invited to contribute.

The survey results will be presented at the Ada UK User Group Autumn
conference, being held in conjunction with the Embedded Systems Club on
October 29th 2002 in Swindon (UK).   They will form the foundation for a
"birds-of-a-feather" session which will bring together those with an
interest in this area for discussion and debate.

This is an area which is a cause for concern to the Ada community.  Your
contribution to the survey and debate is encouraged.  You do not have to
attend the conference in order to contribute, but obviously we would be
delighted to welcome you to the live session.

Survey forms are available from the conference organisers at Adaxia Ltd
(email:  Hazel@Adaxia.com).
