ICT Literacy and Competency Development - DICT Cordillera

ICT Literacy and Competency Development - DICT Cordillera The ICT Literacy and Competency Development Section of DICT Cordillera develops, promotes, and implements ICT literacy and competency in the region.

As the regional arm of DICT's training bureau, it enhances Filipino capacities for an ICT-enabled society. The Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT), mandated by Republic Act 10844, is committed to advancing digital literacy and ICT expertise among Filipinos, ensuring their participation and competitiveness in an evolving digital landscape. Moreover, DICT is entrusted with the task of empowering marginalized segments of society, including the elderly, persons with disabilities, and indigenous and minority groups, through ICT utilization. Recent findings from a paper published by the Philippine Institute for Development Studies (PIDS) highlight a concerning deficiency in digital literacy skills across the nation. Alarmingly, only about 40 percent of Filipinos possess only one of the six essential ICT skills monitored for the Sustainable Development Goals. Furthermore, compared to other ASEAN countries, the Philippines trails behind in nearly all ICT competencies endorsed by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU). In response to these challenges, the ICT Literacy and Competency Development Bureau (ILCDB) has been established as the primary executor of DICT's capacity-building mandate. As the training arm of both DICT and the government, the ILCDB is actively engaged in enhancing ICT competencies among Filipinos, thus paving the way for an ICT-enabled society. Additionally, as a member of the Inter-Agency Council for Development and Competitiveness of Philippine Digital Workforce under Republic Act No. 11927, also known as the โ€œPhilippine Digital Workforce Competitiveness Act,โ€ DICT is committed to โ€œdesign and implement programs for upskilling, re-skilling and training, taking into consideration the results of digital technology and digital skills mapping and the roadmap for evolving jobs and skillsโ€. In light of these imperatives, the Digital Workforce through the ICT Academy (DWIA) Program has been introduced. This program encompasses a range of initiatives designed to bolster the country's capacity in digital skills, thereby enhancing its global competitiveness. DWIA is strategically structured into three sub-programs:

DWIA - Research & Evaluation: This component focuses on monitoring capacity-building activities and conducting research and development to enhance learning technologies and educational programs aligned with digital transformation goals, aiming to foster efficiency and productivity. DWIA - Competency Standards: This sub-program is dedicated to the development and management of ICT competency standards, certification processes, and courseware design, ensuring alignment with industry demands and best practices. DWIA - Training Administration: Implementing a diverse array of training courses, this component aims to enhance the ICT competencies of both the current and future workforce across government, ICT, and ICT-enabled sectors, as well as among marginalized and underserved communities. Through the DWIA Program, DICT endeavors to bridge the digital divide, equip Filipinos with the requisite skills for the digital age, and foster inclusive growth and competitiveness in the global arena. Other programs and projects include:

- Tech4ED - Digital Transformation Centers
- SPARK - Strengthening the Philippine Workforce through Adaptive and Responsive Digital Knowledge (formerly DigitaljobsPH)
- Project C.L.I.C.K. (Courses for Literacy in Internet and Computer Knowledge)
