The firm’s digital talent initiative will train an additional 150 000 people in Sub-Saharan Africa in the next three years.
Huawei has committed to train an additional 150 000 people in Sub-Saharan Africa, through its LEAP digital skills development programme, over the next three years.
It focuses on training for civil servants, training for SMEs, upskilling of ICT professionals, empowering youth through Huawei certifications, as well as collaborating with government and third-party organisations. “Sub-Saharan Africa is known for its vitality and potential throughout the globe. This is in part due to its population boom, with the youngest and fastest growing population. By 2030, over 40% of the global youth population will be African. By 2050, the number of African youth is expected to reach 830 million.
Xiang noted that young people are now applying the ICT skills learned through the programme to shape the digital future of their own countries. “The opportunity to ensure those of our members that are disadvantaged are sufficiently trained in digital literacy for the purposes of accessing ICT systems and services cannot be stressed enough.”
