Members of the private sector will soon be able to benefit from the training provided by the Centre of Excellence in Information Technology (CEIT), Minister of Public Telecommunications Cathy Hughes has said.
According to the Department of Public Information (DPI), Hughes noted during an interview that currently only members of the public sector benefit from the programmes offered by the CEIT. These include JAVA Programming, Data Communication & Networking, Advanced Web Technologies, among several others.
“I am happy to say that we are now in discussion with the Indian government and we are going to make the facility and the training opportunities also open to those persons in the private sector,” she was quoted as saying in a report published yesterday.
It also said Hughes, in highlighting the importance of the facility, noted that “we are working to incorporate the use of technology more into the way we conduct business in Guyana; the way the government operates. Therefore, the Centre of Excellence is key to ensuring that we can train people.”
DPI noted that the CEIT is a centre of academic engagement and excellence and the government’s leading provider of research-informed ICT education and projects for the public sector.
