JICA organises workshop on computers, Friday, December 24, 2010 Pg 18
A three-day computer skills upgrading training workshop aimed at providing practical experience for Japan Overseas Co-operation Volunteers (JOCV) and their Ghanaian counterparts opened in Accra today (Tuesday).
The training programme which brought together 26 participants from all over the country also has the objective of providing the participants with new rudiments of diagnosing and repairing computer faults which are commonly found in their daily work situations.
The workshop was under the auspices of the Electronics Sub-committee of the JOCV.
Even with new generation of computers flooding the market, a lot of old computers with different operating systems are still in use in schools and offices across the country.
The blending of old and new computers are also common in most organisations, a situation that creates maintenance and compatibility problems for technicians.
The workshop was, therefore, to address the computer knowledge defiecies that impede the growth of ICT development in the country.
Opening the workshop, Munihiro Yamauchi, the Chief JICA Representative, said accurate knowledge and technology were required in order to understand correctly the generational gap between computers.
He said the training programme would contribute to increasing the effectiveness of the organisations the participants work with.
Mr Yamauchi, therefore, urged the participants to make the most out of the workshop by co-operating and exchanging skills that would help achieve the purpose of the workshop.
