Huawei records an important milestone in terms of Pakistan’s digital excellence and transformation for the elevation of ICT education and skills, by launching their “Train the Trainer” program which, as the name suggests, will deal with an extensive training of the trainers currently present in the field which will ultimately educate the students, creating a multiplier effect that will significantly enhance the ICT education quality.
The structure of the program is specifically designed to ensure that the trainers are well prepared to deliver high quality education. This initiative is in complete correspondence with respect to the efforts and vision of the government of Pakistan to improve ICT education and foster digital skills among the students.
While addressing to the ceremony, Deputy CEO and Director Subsidiary Board of Huawei Pakistan Ahmad Bilal Masood said “Investing in IT and youth is the right direction. We are honored that the Prime Minister of Pakistan, Shehbaz Sharif has chosen Huawei to be a part of this initiative. We will ensure that the digital transformation requires a trained workforce in Pakistan. We have to develop a workforce that will provide services not just within Pakistan but also internationally.”
IT and Telecom Secretary Aisha Humera Chaudhary stated, “The Ministry of Information Technology is committed to supporting this initiative through several strategic measures. We will assist Huawei in provisioning students for this training and will have a committee in place to monitor operations and ensure the quality of the training imparted.”
The TTT program is expected to have extremely deep and far reaching effects. By training 300,000 individuals, the program will help in creating a substantial and skilled workforce ready to contribute to various sectors. Moreover, the establishment of an HR database for employment will streamline the connection between skilled professionals and job opportunities.
