What does the Year of the Dragon hold for the Philippine IT-BPO & GIC industry? 2012 is a critical year for the industry. Demand for non-voice, complex services is expected to gather increased momentum, while voice services continue to grow. While substantial gains were achieved in 2011 in improving talent supply, strategically much work remains to be done on many levels: industry brand visibility, educational infrastructure, and generating funding for programs to address these potential hurdles to growth.
How will the industry address these issues? What support from government can be expected? Is the academe reconfiguring curricula to provide graduates with the skills the industry requires? Are investors aware that the Philippines is also a key provider of non-voice, complex services?
