ICT Career Day? In Brunei? Really??

Posted by AnakBrunei
Yes, really. The severe shortage of ICT workers, particularly those who are certified professionals, in our country has prompted the Infocom Federation of Brunei to organize the first ICT Career Day in Brunei.

It's going to be a one-stop event where job seekers can speak to potential employers, get feedback on the certifications they require, then approach training institutions to check on the cost involved. It doesn't end there, though.


Sheikh Abas from IFB giving his opening remarks.

These job-seekers, having been furnished with these two key pieces of information, can then approach the AiTi booth. AiTi, the equivalent of IDA in Singapore, has a program which subsidizes these job seekers in their selected certification courses.


Md Haziq from IFB briefing the audience on the event.

There we have it, a completed cycle all done under one roof. I say it's about time! Hats off to IFB for organizing such an event for the first time here in Brunei Darussalam.

Taking into account that the IFB was formed just a month ago this is quite an achievement. I missed you in my "Workforce 2.0" session.

Hi Notes Guru! This is true! Hey we didn't formally meet but I have a few pics of you hehe! How'd the Workforce 2.0 session go? Sorry I missed it, yesterday was a hectic event-filled day :)

"Sensei" not "Guru" (Guru is Kevin Petitt) ;-) Drop them into an eMail (see my blog) and chat with me. I'll be back soon.
