ICT in Continuing Education:
the IVPV success story

By the end of the previous century, the IVPV together with Agoria challenged the shortage in ICT-specialists by setting up a large scale IT course. For one or two evenings per week, around 2000 employees throughout Belgium and Europe faithfully attended the videoconferences organised by the Flemish universities. Many participants took exams on one or more modules, and received a university certificate. The course was a true milestone for industry, and gave a new élan to many ICT-experts. Today Agoria teaches us that again there is a growing shortage in ICT-specialists. The IVPV picks up the Agoria inquiry, and revitalises a new large scale ICT course. As always, the course is demand driven, and the content has been set up in close collaboration with industry.

The current ICT Software & Data Processing course is the second part of a large scale international ICT course organised by the Institute of Continuing Education at Ghent University. It is divided in four main sections: ICT Networking and Security (first semester 2008), ICT Software & Data Processing, ICT Multimedia and ICT & Business. All parts are scheduled within 2008-2009.
