ADOC Trainers' 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.

Along with the donation of computers and modern IT equipments made by the government of Chinese Taipei, Peru’s APEC Digital Opportunity Center (ADOCⁱ) was inaugurated on May 16, 2005 at Peru’s Export Promotion Commission (PROMPEX), with the main objective of bridging the digital gap and training the Peruvian enterprises to gain the knowledge and tools necessary to have a better approach to foreign trade, e-commerce and the use of the information and communication technologies (ICT).
