The Vision

The ITU Academy aims to become the leading supplier and the repository of reference for all training and professional development programs relating to the ICT sector. 

The ITU Academy will operate at two levels; it will manage the development of a coherent ITU training and development strategy, reflecting the demands of its members and stakeholders; at an operational level, it will manage the design of training resources and coordinate training delivery. As such, it will offer a single point of entry to all ITU human capacity-building resources, with an on-line catalogue as a navigation tool for users and interested parties.  

  

Overall Objective

The primary objective of the ITU Academy is to harmonize, integrate and gather under one umbrella all existing ITU training services corresponding to the organization's main areas of activity – radiocommunications, standardization and development - and to extend the current portfolio of training programs. 

Sub-Objectives

The above primary objective is supported by four sub-objectives:

• To work with members, stakeholders and partners in setting priorities for ICT training, development and human capacity-building;
• To commission the design of training, development and human capacity-building solutions in response to agreed priorities, drawing on the services of recognized experts;
• To create a library of ICT learning and human capacity-building resources;
• To provide a platform for knowledge transfer
