DICT Secretary Ivan Uy highlighted DICT’s training and professional development initiatives for the workforce, the local government units, and the countryside, such as the digitaljobsPH Program which aims to provide basic digital literacy and intermediate ICT skills training in the Philippine countryside, and the IT-BPM Scaled Upskilling program which conducts advanced training in priority areas identified by the IT-BPM subsectors. The Philippine Skills Framework of the DICT likewise helped in aligning the skills and competencies identified by the IT-BPM industries.
