Huawei training for Belarusian college students

Belarusian students of the Higher State College of Communications are being trained in the Huawei center in Beijing these days. They have arrived in China as part of the special program Seeds for the Future. The main purpose of the event is to develop information and telecommunication technologies and encourage talented students.

Huawei started inviting foreign students seven years ago when the company launched the special program Seeds for the Future and opened its training centers in over 100 countries across the globe. Over 10,000 people have been trained as part of the program. The first group of students from Belarus is being trained now.

According to Amy Lin, Huawei Vice President: “The main purpose of the program is to develop information and telecommunication technologies and encourage talented students. We understand that not all of them will work with our equipment in the future. But they will foster the development of the industry, this is why our company will grow.”

Huawei intends to continue cooperating with Belarusian educational institutions. The students of the Higher State College of Communications will be made familiar with another Chinese city and will visit the headquarters of the Chinese telecommunication giant. Within the next few days the Belarusian group will spend one week being trained in the city of Shenzhen, Guangdong Province in China’s south.

The Chinese corporation Huawei is a resident company of the China-Belarus industrial park Great Stone. The China-Belarus Industrial Park is a territorial unit that occupies 80km2 and offers a special legal regime meant to enable comfortable conditions for doing business. The park is located 25km away from the capital city of the Republic of Belarus in a unique natural area in the immediate proximity to an international airport, the railway network, and the transnational motorway Berlin-Moscow. Any companies regardless of the country of origin of their capital can become residents of the park.

BelTA reported earlier that the Chinese corporations ZTE and Huawei intend to start building high-tech manufacturing facilities in the China-Belarus Industrial Park as early as 2015.
