THE IT and Business Process Association of the Philippines said the IT and Business Process Management industry is expected to contribute nearly $32 billion worth of revenue to the Philippine economy in 2022, a sum that it said will surpass the industry’s 8-percent contribution to the country’s gross domestic product .
With this, the head of the flagship organization of the IT-BPM industry said, “So we are working hard with our partners in government—[Department of Education] DepEd, Commission on Higher Education [CHED], [Technical Education and Skills Development Authority] TESDA, to upskill our existing workforce.”
Ilagan underscored the importance of upskilling the workforce, especially for jobs which are evolving, such as those that require digital skills.
