2 Draft Terms of Reference (ToR) for Delivery of Project Based Course Outline & Course Contents for FTFL Training (National) 1. Background Bangladesh Computer Council (BCC) under the Ministry of Posts, Telecommunications & Information Technology (MoPTIT) has undertaken a project under an IDA credit titled "Leveraging Information and Communications Technologies (ICT) for Growth, Employment and Governance Project" to build globally competent human resources for the local IT/ITES industry. LICT project has provisions to build world class human resources to meet the demand of the IT/ITES Industry through its two flagship initiatives, as: (1) Top-Up IT Training program for 10,000 IT/Science graduates; and (2) Foundation Skills Training program for 20,000 fresh intakes for ITES Industry. Besides these two large activities by globally renowned training firms, LICT project has also a provision to develop around 4,000 fresh graduates following the spirit of the existing ICT internship program of the ICT division of the MoPTIT. LICT project had several interactions with the IT/ITES industry associations, industry opinion leaders and came up with the solution by redesigning the existing ICT Internship program. Both the IT/ITES Industry and the LICT project acknowledged the need of future leaders to accelerate the sustainable growth of IT/ITES Industry. Thus the Fast Track Future Leader (FTFL) program was born. FTFL is an innovative program to quickly build the professional capacity of the fresh graduates to take the future leadership of IT/ITES industry. LICT project has contacted several government training institutes, like: BPATC, Savar; BARD, Comilla; BIM, Dhaka; RDA, Bogra to impart the initial one-moth residential soft-skills and IT & IT Business Management core concepts training; and a part of the next two-months track specific specialized training.

3 Under this FTFL program, LICT will prepare industry ready fresh graduates in three different tracks: 1) IT Services (ITS) 2) IT Enabled Services (ITES), and 3) IT Support Services (ITSS). All the selected candidates of the FTFL program will get one month residential training in Soft Skills, IT & IT Business Management core concepts. After completion of one month residential training, the trainees will get two months track specific specialized training. ITS track trainees will get training in Software Development, Database Management and Network Administration. ITES track trainees will get training in Web User Experience with Graphic Design, Software Quality Assurance and Testing. ITSS track trainees will get training in Help Desk and IT System Support. Under the FTFL Program, LICT already developed course outline and course contents on the following courses: (1) SEO and Internet marketing, (2) Web User Experience Design, (3) ASP.NET MVC Web App Development, (4) Cloud Computing using Amazon Web Services, (5) PHP Laravel Framework Web App Development, (6) Unity 3D Game Development, (7) IT Support and Management, and (8) IT Business Management.
