Chinese telecom equipment giant Huawei Technologies on June 14 opened its first overseas training center in Malaysia's technology hub Cyberjaya, as part of its nearly $30-million project to develop talent in the information technology sector.
The center's opening came after Huawei signed an agreement in April 2011 with 10 Malaysian universities. The Shenzhen-based firm plans to help train 10,000 Malaysian professionals in the information and communications technology field over the next four years.
"The training centers serve not only the Malaysian and Asian markets but also the world," said Victor Wang, Vice President of Huawei Asia Pacific.
Huawei has operations in over 140 countries, supplying its products to almost one third of the world's population. |
