Huawei hosted a farewell event for ten Ethiopian students who will be attending the Huawei Seeds for the Future 2024 training program. The program will be held in Morocco from July 1st to 10th, 2024, and the students are from Ethiopia’s eight public universities.

During the occasion, Solomon Soka, state minister to the Ministry of Labor and Skills, noted that such information and communication technology training helps young generations develop their skills and knowledge in the field, enhancing their career prospects and opening up new job opportunities. He also acknowledged Huawei for providing this valuable skill-boosting training annually.

Huawei East Africa Regional Vice President Hu Zhen stated that the Huawei Seeds for the Future program offers a range of benefits that can help young professionals develop their skills, knowledge, and networks in the ICT field.

Since 2017, Huawei Ethiopia, in collaboration with the Ministry of Education, has been sending the top ten students from Ethiopia to its head office in China to receive two weeks of training through the Seeds program. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the program has been delivered online. This year’s program will be held in person and will bring together around 160 students from 18 African nations.
