Moreover, it represents the commitment of
the DICT to the IT-BPM Roadmap through the creation of high-quality
capacity-building programs.

To upskill existing manpower in specialised
competency areas is one of the High Impact Programs of the IT-BPM Roadmap

sustaining the requirements of the IT-BPM industry for appropriate skills and
talent that can respond to the needs by providing capacity-building
interventions.

workforce is enabled to acquire the necessary skills.

The 22 scholars, who graduated, underwent a
nine-week training course. They were able to complete 5 modules that cover
topics identified by the Commission

UP professors as well as industry experts
with experience in data mining, business intelligence, operations research,

the training curriculum are fundamentals, concepts, business and technical
architecture and best practices relating to Business Analytics.
