About Brunei ICT Industry Competency Framework (BIICF)
BIICF is developed by the BIICF Working Group and Competency Development Technical Group (CDTG) of the MISC-WG ICT. Members consist of representatives from the ICT industry, government agencies, private training providers and the higher education institutions.
The main objective of BIICF is to ensure that Brunei’s ICT professionals have the relevant skills to develop their careers by providing a national standard for ICT job roles, competencies and the types of training required.
BIICF becomes the ICT career guidebook for those in the ICT industry. It gives an overview of the roles and the technical and soft skills competencies needed or the role and provides information on the specific skills training that complements the roles that one can pursue to acquire the knowledge and elevate their position.
The development of BIICF has undergone review and validation process to ensure they remain industry-relevant by taking into reference the Skills Framework for Information Age (SFIA Version 8), Singapore Skills Framework for Infocomm Technology, Malaysian Skills Competency Matrix and Japan i-Competency Dictionary.
This benchmarking exercise drove a focused approach to ensure that the ICT industry best practices are captured for Brunei’s competitive advantage.
The BIICF was further verified through a series of consultations with leaders, human resource and ICT professionals across the ICT and non-ICT sectors.
The framework will continuously be reviewed to ensure it remains current and relevant to meet the industry’s needs. It will be enhanced with more career paths, ICT learning roadmaps and added job roles as we progress with identifying other new jobs in demand by the industry
