This was stated in a speech by the chief executive of the Authority of Info-communications Technology Industry of Brunei Darussalam (Aiti), Hj Yahkup bin Hj Menudin at the debut of the Aiti ICT Competency Programme, at the iLM Academy, Knowledge Hub in Anggerek Desa.

The programme is part of a joint project between the Aiti and the iLM Academy, which aims to develop such ICT training into successful initiatives with job creating opportunities.

Close to 6 000 applications have been received by the Malta Communications Authority from people wishing to benefit from the recently introduced 'ICT4All' training scheme, says The Times of Malta.

The scheme entitles individuals aged 25 years and over to a EUR35 voucher that is redeemable against the ICT4All training course - an initiative intended to induce more adults to start using ICT for a better quality of life and to enhance employability.

According to Eurostat statistics, 91% of those aged 16 to 24 use the Internet regularly, as do 61% of those aged 25 to 54 and 22% of those aged 55 to 74.
