Huawei bridges skills gap in ICT sector

Ntwaetsile said: “We realised there was a gap between the theory the students are taught in schools and what the industry demands. In this programme, which we have already implemented in other African countries, Huawei will this year pilot the programme in Botswana and send the best ten ICT students from University of Botswana to China for two months.

 “This year is only a pilot programme. We hope to engage more local universities next year and also look to increase the timeframe of the training programme.”
