status quo. After talking with LICT-EY, we felt that we have possibly found
a rare source of skilled resources and hence signed up. We asked for a
tailored training program and EY was happy to accommodate us. We look
forward to the building up of a world-class resource pool in Bangladesh.”

“We are delighted to partner with EY. They are performing a laudable job
in developing precious human capital for our IT industry. We hope to
actively work with EY and LICT, BCC, to help in the ongoing activities
including post training assessment as well as absorbing some of these
resources through employment who could meet our proficiency

initiative will definitely boost the IT and ITES industry, and help
participants to get employment here and abroad as well.”
