Welcome Message

We are convinced that the sector of Information Technology and Business Process Out-sourcing (IT/BPO) in its widest interpretation has become one of the drivers of growth for the Philippines.

The sector has grown substantially in recent years, but the full potential of the Philippines as a hub for IT and IT-enabled services has still to be developed.  The challenges to be addressed by both government and the private sector in a public private partnership range from effective marketing of the skills available in the country to creating the manpower resource able to catch the available business opportunities in all regions of the world.

In order to achieve this vision, human resource development is key. In this process, the youth plays a major role. Promoting IT/BPO to the Filipino youth, raising public awareness in information & communications technology, and fostering linkages between academe and the private sector broaden job opportunities and contribute to further enhancing the attractiveness of the Philippines as an outsourcing and offshoring destination.

We, therefore, are delighted to help build lives through youth development training. It is our hope that through this initiative, we can stimulate interest among the youth to see the IT/BPO sector as their future and develop industry relevant knowledge and skills competence. We are convinced that today's youth is essential to energizing business through technology and driving the country's knowledge economy.

Sincerely,
Dominic Sabado
