Raising a New Generation for the Cloud Industry Through Education

AmCham Philippines

AmCham came to life in 1902 as the Manila Coffee Round Table and later as Manila Merchants Association. Incorporated in 1920, it has since then recognized and reconfirmed the commitment of American business to the development and welfare of the Philippines and the Filipino people.

This is a commitment of long-standing, as its mission statement declares:

The Chamber exists to serve the interests of U.S. businesses through the participation of members in promoting their long-term objectives while contributing to the civic and economic development of the Philippines.”

The cloud industry continues to power ahead even in the midst of a global pandemic. Regardless whether you are a CxO, a small medium business owner, or even a student, the use of public cloud services provides two distinct opportunities now: you do not have to invest in large capital expenses if you have a great idea and secondly, it is a good way to experiment quickly and drive innovation at a higher pace. It is also recognized that there is a high demand for graduates with relevant industry skills/knowledge and cloud computing skills has been rated as one of the most highly sought after skills in the new economy.

For this month's Education Committee webinar, the discussion aims to share possible approaches to how a country can prepare the new generation to be engaged participants in a cloud-enabled economy.
