Speaking on the occasion, Al Maimaini stressed that IT was a major force in business and government, and he exhorted those present to obtain professional qualifications for better opportunities in today's job market.
There was also a presentation on 'The Profession of Management for IT professionals' by Vivek Albuquerque, CEO of Louis Allen International (India). Keeping the audience captivated throughout his presentation, he mentioned that careers usually start with acquiring technical skills and as the job demands increase, employees obtain more technical skills.
