ICT TOUR IN CEBU


Last January 26-27, 2006, representatives from DTI Bohol, Bohol Investment Promotion Center (BIPC) and the Academe visited call centers, business process outsourcing and medical transcription companies in Cebu City. The visit to the International School for Medical transcription (ISMT), People’s Support, E-Telecare, Bigfoot Global Solutions, International Academy of Film and Television, and Sykes generated productive discussions on possible collaboration between schools and ICT companies for human resource development.

Some of the major discussions and commitments reached during the activity are the following:

· ISMT will offer franchise arrangement of their course module to qualified partners;
· People’s Support will support in HR development e.g. training with select groups in private schools;
· e-Telecare will support in HR development e.g. language training for public school teachers, and also advocacy by making available video presentation materials and speakers during school campaign sorties;
· Bigfoot Global Solution will support in advocacy e.g. availability of presentation materials and speakers during campaign sorties in schools
· Sykes will support in HR development and advocacy; the DTI, BIPC and Sykes are planning to conduct a roadshow in Bohol tentatively set last week of February or first week of March 2006.

The response of the companies is so inspiring. We planned to get everyone excited, and hopefully increase the awareness of the students about this new career alternative.
