Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) and ICT Division jointly launched “Be a Top Software Engineer (B-TopSE)” campaign to build a next generation of highly skilled software engineers in Bangladesh.
The B-TopSE programme, unveiled at a grand opening ceremony at the BCC Auditorium here, is modeled after Japan’s prestigious “TopSE” training course, said a press release.
This software engineering training course aims to create “Super Architects”, equipping them with advanced software engineering skills and methodologies to thrive in the ICT industry.
Through this initiative, over 1,000 mid-career ICT professionals will receive specialized training with a focus on hands-on, industry-relevant expertise.
The programme is administered by JICA’s “Project for ICT Engineers Development for the Promotion of the ICT Industry and New Innovations”, in partnership with Bangladesh Computer Council (BCC), Bangladesh Association of Software and Information Services (BASIS), and academic institutions.
The B-TopSE programme stands as a vital milestone in Bangladesh’s journey toward becoming a leading player in the global ICT landscape.
ICT Division Secretary Shish Haider Chowdhury, Japanese Ambassador Iwama Kiminori, and Chief Representative of JICA Bangladesh Office Ichiguchi Tomohide were, among others, present at the ceremony.
