The UK based Ernst and Young (EY) through its Indian subsidiary has tied up with Institute of Business Administration (IBA) of Dhaka University to start an `Advanced Certification for Management Professionals (ACMP) Programme’ this month.
The programme will be conducted under Leveraging ICT for Growth, Employment and Governance (LICT) Project to provide IT training for the mid-level managers of IT firms to boost IT sector.
A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed between IBA and EY on August 10 at the office of the Treasurer of Dhaka University (DU) in this regard, said a media release.
DU Treasurer Professor Md. Kamal Uddin and EY Project Director of Business Advisory Services Bidyut Thakur signed the MoU on behalf of their respective organizations.
Management Specialist of Leveraging ICT for Growth, Employment and Governance (LICT) Project Sarkar Abul Kalam Azad and Communication Specialist Ajit Kumar Sarkar, Professor and Director of IBA Dr. AKM Saiful Majid, Associate Professor and Chairperson of Management Development Programme of IBA Sheikh Morshed Jahan were present. The EY will provide managerial and technical training for 500 middle managers of IT and IT Enabled Services (ITES) firms as per the MoU. Kamal Uddin said the collaboration between IBA and UK based EY would help ensure a quality training for the middle managers of IT firms and develop them as skilled human resources. The middle managers play a vital role to expand business of their respective firm, but lack of skills creates obstacles on way to flourish IT/ITES companies, he said.
Abul Kalam Azad said this partnership with reputed IBA and international counterpart for providing ACMP training for the middle managers will be a quick win for the country’s IT/ITES industry.
Bidyut Thakur said the ACMP will be a world-class training program to be co-designed by leading institutions IBA, IIM Ahemdabad and IIT Delhi as well as the course will be accredited by George Washington University, USA.
“This program will be institutionalized as part of IBA’s Management Development Program (MDP) for managers from IT/ITES and other sectors to benefit from such an international standard training program in the years to come,” he said.
The training will be in the areas of Project Management, People Management, Business & Customer Management, Business Communication, Finance & Accounting, Strategy Management, Business Analytics, Cyber Security & other Software Engineering areas.
