HÀ NỘI — A programme to train 100 key experts to work on e-Government is scheduled to start on December 20.

The online programme will be shared on the website egov.mic.gov.vn. It is the website of the centre which supports the e-Government’s implementation.

Conducted by the Ministry of Information and Communications (MoIC), its aim is to improve information technology (IT) cadre’s quality to serve the e-Government.

Nguyễn Thành Phúc, director of the Department of Computerisation under the MoIC, said the experts would include heads of IT divisions of departments of information and communications, directors of IT centres and heads of IT application divisions.

“Participants are not only key IT workers of each unit, but also leaders who will bear the responsibility in the IT sector across the country,” said Phúc.

It was one of the most important forces contributing to the country’s success in building an e-Government, he said. — VNS
