With the objective of creating a greater awareness among students on ICT (Information & Communications Technology), INTI International College Penang’s School of Computing and Information Technology (SOCIT) conducted a Quiz Competition which attracted 78 Forms 4 and 5 students from 11 leading schools in Penang and Butterworth.
Mr. Tinawin’s talk was highly informative, interlaced with interesting video clips on the future world of ICT. The speaker also highlighted that as the world grows ever more dependent on ICT, increasingly ICT is becoming the career of choice and ICT jobs are as solid as any of the other well-established professions. He also pointed out that Malaysia is experiencing an acute shortage of ICT graduates. As ICT is fast becoming the key-driver for the success and growth of every industry and every business in the global arena, Jes urged the students to be a part of this big picture and be “architects” of a smarter planet.
