The project is a result
of early negotiations in 1995 between the DOST and a leading
Japan-based multimedia software development company, the Japan
Media Programming, Inc. which wanted to conduct multimedia software
development activities in Cebu.
Unfortunately, during
the time, the nation did not have adequate personnel for multimedia
software development. To develop this manpower, this project
was created. DOST-PCASTRD would provide funds for training equipment;
JAMP would provide the trainers as well as access to the production
facilities; COSPO would manage the training and develop a mechanism
that would sustain the project beyond the two-year project period;
DOST 7 would coordinate the entire project.
The project aimed to develop
a critical mass of highly trained multimedia software production
manpower with the following minimum target outputs:
- 72 highly
trained multimedia creators, specialists and planners
- 6-12 trainers
on advance multimedia production
- conduct 6
courses on advance multimedia software production
(including
on-the-job training )
- pursue multimedia
sofware production activities, conduct 2
seminars on multimedia software marketing and contracting.
