Islamabad: Under the dynamic leadership of Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif, Huawei has unveiled an extensive training program aimed at empowering 300,000 students across Pakistan.

Huawei marked a significant milestone in Pakistan’s digital transformation journey on Friday with the Huawei Train The Trainer (TTT) Certificate Distribution Ceremony. This initiative is a crucial component of Pakistan’s broader efforts to enhance ICT education and skills nationwide.

The TTT program, a collaborative effort between Huawei and various ICT academies across Pakistan, is designed to address the increasing demand for advanced ICT skills.

By focusing on training trainers who will then educate students, the program creates a multiplier effect that significantly improves the quality of ICT education.

This approach ensures that trainers are equipped with the latest knowledge and skills in ICT technologies, which they will pass on to students, thus directly influencing the next generation of IT professionals.

The program’s structure is carefully designed to ensure that trainers are well-prepared to deliver high-quality education.

Aligned with the government’s vision of enhancing ICT education and fostering digital skills among students, the initiative provides comprehensive training to trainers, bridging the gap between academic knowledge and industry requirements. This preparation better equips students to tackle the challenges of the modern digital landscape.

Huawei’s involvement extends beyond providing training; it underscores a deep commitment to Pakistan’s digital future.

By leveraging its expertise and resources, Huawei is significantly contributing to the development of a skilled workforce that will benefit various sectors within Pakistan and beyond.

This partnership highlights Huawei’s role as a leading player in advancing Pakistan’s digital transformation.

In his welcome address, Ahmed Bilal Masood, Deputy CEO and Director of the Subsidiary Board of Huawei Pakistan, congratulated the trainers and students and emphasized the collaborative effort behind the TTT and Seeds for the Future (SFTF) programs.

He stated, “Investing in IT and youth is the right direction. We are honored that the Prime Minister of Pakistan has chosen Huawei to be part of this initiative. This is one of our top priorities, and we are committed to ensuring its success. We aim to develop a workforce that will provide services not just within Pakistan but internationally.”

Secretary of IT and Telecom, Aisha Humera Chaudhary, underscored the significance of the initiative during the ceremony. She noted, “The Ministry of Information Technology is dedicated to supporting this initiative through various strategic measures. We will assist Huawei in provisioning students for this training and will establish a committee to monitor operations and ensure the quality of the training provided.”

Her remarks reflect the Ministry’s commitment to facilitating and overseeing the success of this transformative program.

Chaudhary further highlighted the broader impact of the program, stating, “This is the beginning of a significant celebration, one that will drive the economic growth of Pakistan. With Huawei’s collaboration, Pakistan is poised to emerge as a leader in the global arena.”

The TTT program is expected to have far-reaching effects. By training 300,000 individuals, the program aims to create a substantial and skilled workforce ready to contribute to various sectors.

Additionally, the establishment of an HR database for employment will streamline the connection between skilled professionals and job opportunities.
