Training

The ADOCⁱ (APECⁱ Digital Opportunity Center) Project, endorsed by APEC 2003, is now operating successfully among six PMEs (Partner Member Economies). These six PMEs include Indonesia, Viet Nam, the Philippines, Papua New Guinea, Chile and Peru. As Thailand becomes a new member of the ADOC Project this year, the ADOC Secretariat held Trainers’ Training Course at UTCC (University of the Thai Chamber of Commerce) in Bangkok on October 27~30, 2007.

ADOCⁱ Trainers’ Training is an important annual event in the ADOC Centers that helps bridge the world’s digital divide. It brings senior ICT experts from government, industry, and civil society in Chinese Taipei to train people in their local communities, thereby contributing and adapting their knowledge to local contexts. These programs include courses in ICT educational methods as well as practical and advanced courses for seed trainers. When these trainers complete their study, they will work together to compile teaching materials in their local languages and assist in the planning of ICT training courses in their own localities.
The Vietnamese Trainers’ Training Program is being held from 22 October to 07 November in ADOC Digital Opportunity Center in Hanoi, Vietnam. Twenty-five trainees were invited to participate in an intensive training course lasting over two weeks.

APECⁱ Digital Opportunity Center (ADOCⁱ) is a technology-based foreign-relations program that applies Taiwan’s experiences with developing its domestic ICT industry to transform the “digital divide” among APEC member economics into “digital opportunity”. The 4^th annual ADOC ICT Elite Camp is a two-week training program being held in Chinese Taipei from October 1^st to 12^th, 2007. This year’s Camp aims to bridge the digital divide through information exchange and education.
