200 Training Centres

Statement of Problem

ICT TELECOM WORLDWIDE is a leader in the field of Information Communication Technology projects in the World. In our process we have found that there is a sortage of staff to bridge the digital divide throughout the world. It has been estimated that the shortfall of networking professionals for Europe alone will reach 600,000 by 2002. In developing countries we have found that students face the hardest acces to training in this new and exciting field. The students have to leave their homes and families and move to the United States or Canada to get their training. In most countries acess to full Internet services are restricted to only staff or graduate students.
