This training will instruct 38 government employees, selected from across all departments. Topics covered will include formulating information strategy for e-government, basic ICT training in such areas as networks and cybersecurity, as well as the cloud systems that support them, and practical methods for developing systems. In addition, in the practice sessions that will be conducted during the training period, the participating employees will learn the processes necessary to resolve ICT issues discovered in each workplace, and set action plans for their own organizations. Through these efforts, the employees participating in the training will gain the basic capabilities necessary to become the future ICT leaders of each department, and take responsibility for promoting e-government and information security.
Fujitsu was entrusted to perform this training by the Japanese Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications, as part of its Research Investigation Related to Offering Japanese Experience and Knowledge about ICT Human Resource Development to the Union Government of Myanmar.

Training Session
Background
Recent years have seen Myanmar rapidly develop its nationwide information and communications infrastructure, and given this, there has been a demand for the development of ICT usage in government. Not only are ICT personnel insufficient in the government of Myanmar, but the Ministry of Transport and Communications, which would normally be responsible for developing ICT personnel in government institutions, has struggled to establish specific teaching methods and a curriculum. In light of these issues, Fujitsu has been working with the Ministry of Transport and Communications to advance the development of ICT personnel in Myanmar's government, such as by carrying out joint short-term training.
In addition to carrying out training to develop ICT personnel for the government of Myanmar, Fujitsu is creating curricula and teaching methods that cover ICT technologies and expertise appropriate to local conditions, to be continuously used on site after training. Through these efforts, Fujitsu is supporting the strengthening of Myanmar's ICT capabilities.
Training Summary
1. Trainees
At least one person from each of the 22 Myanmar government departments, for 38 people in total
2. Training period
First round: Five days, January 16-20

4. Training goal
The goal of this training is for the participant employees to achieve about a Level 2(1) in ITSS(2), and to use the developed knowledge and skills in ICT planning, development, and operations in their own organizations. In addition to receiving training courses necessary for this goal, the participants will determine the ICT issues facing their various workplaces, and establish action plans to resolve them.
In addition, Fujitsu will use surveys from each training course and tests to measure overall achievement to grasp the participants' level of understanding and current ICT skills, and use this information to create new curricula and teaching materials, providing the government of Myanmar with expertise to carry out training with the same content for other employees. Through these efforts, Fujitsu expects to improve the ICT knowledge and skill level of the government of Myanmar as a whole.
Future Plans
Using the results obtained from this training, Fujitsu will work to develop materials and offer courses for developing ICT personnel in Myanmar and other Asian countries where there is a demand, taking part in strengthening ICT capability that is indispensable for promoting e-government and information security.
