The kingdom’s Bahraini undergraduates seeking training in information and communications technology and other vocational skill sets are rejoicing as the Huwaei 2017 Internship Programme is scheduled to start again next month.
The leading global ICT solutions provider believes in the importance of equipping the next generation with the necessary training and skills to become future leaders. Their aim is to enrich life and improve efficiency through a better connected world, acting as a responsible corporate citizen, innovative enabler for the information society, and collaborative contributor to the industry.
Through this programme, the students, welcomed from multiple universities across Bahrain, will be mentored and coached by experts and assigned experiential projects specially curated as part of the initiative.
Feng Nan Paul, Huawei Bahrain’s CEO, said: “As an active and committed member of the local community, we are pleased to continue the Huawei Internship Programme, which aims to empower Bahraini undergraduates with on-the-job training that enables them to play an active role in the kingdom’s digital transformation.”
Students from Bahrain Polytechnic and Ahlia University took part in the first batch of the 2017 programme back in June. For three months, they were trained under the domain of marketing, procurement, logistic as well as various ICT areas, including networking and system integration. They were assigned with the tasks that entail rational probing, independent initiative, advanced research skills, analytical skills, application development and others. The engaging and stimulating learning environment allowed them to adopt the practical skillsets for their future career and to be more competitive in the local market. Huawei Internship Programme helps to bridge the gap between what is learned from school and what is practiced in the workplace.
Bassam Abdulredha, a networking student from Ahlia University who took part in the internship found it to be beneficial and recommends others wanting to pursue a career in this field to enrol in the programme. Bassam said: “I have learnt how technical projects are done in real life, and the complexities of managing such projects. I have realised that management skills are as important as technical skills, and I would recommend this programme to any student who is willing to work hard and learn new skills though real life challenges in professional working environment.”
