Thursday, January 11, 2007 Techno entrepreneurship to be offered in colleges By Joy Romares-Sevilla
THE Davao City Chamber of Commerce and Industry Inc. (DCCCII) already pushed eight colleges and universities in Davao City to include technology entrepreneurship in their curriculum starting June.
Andrei Fournier, one of the board of trustees of the DCCCII and an expert on information and communications technology (ICT), said.
"Last year, two universities have signified that they will include the techno entrepreneurship in their curriculum for this year, but six more schools have also signified--including the St. Mary's in Tagum City and one in Digos City. As far as I remember, AdDu is also one of them," Fournier said in an interview Wednesday.
However, Fournier failed to enumerate the five schools in Davao City that are interested to offer the subject.
Fournier said techno entrepreneurship would help students prepare a business plan. He added that the chamber would set a meeting with the presidents of the eight colleges Friday in order for them to get feedbacks regarding the plan.
"These schools will have three to six units elective for entrepreneurship, actually our colleges are offering entrepreneurship and information technology, but the courses are separate," he said.
It was learned that the chamber will visit also these eight colleges to conduct information drive about techno entrepreneurship.
