As a result, across the ICT ecosystem there is an urgent need for large numbers of technical staff who can address the challenges posed by this transformation.”

In 2020, despite the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, travel is limited, the fifth Huawei Viet Nam’s Seeds for the Future programme will continue to be deployed in the form of online training.

Students can learn the latest technologies such as 5G, AI, cloud computing, IoT on the dedicated Huawei iLearning X learning platform.
