“Digital skills are seen as essential for the future,” says Yuan Ping, director, Huawei Asia Academy (Huawei ASEAN Academy), in an interview.
Huawei aims to cultivate half a million people in relevant ICT skills in the coming five years, as part of an expansive US$150 million commitment.
One way Huawei is doing so is to establish a network of academies across the region. The academy is now established in countries such as Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Cambodia, Sri Lanka, Bengal and Nepal and more of such similar set-ups are planned.
