Following the signing of their Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), Huawei, and the College of Engineering at the Australian University (AU) have launched a Datacom Lab at the university’s campus. The lab seeks to expand Huawei’s digital training programs in collaboration with AU to enhance youth employability and to give them the opportunity to benefit from training in computer networking skills, the demand for which is growing.
Moreover, the new computer networking lab also aims to promote practical skills training for a broader audience. Prof Isam Zabalawi, president of AU, announced that AU is interested in collaborating more with Huawei, as it is a leading information and communication technologies company in Kuwait and the region. In addition, he further emphasized the importance of including new technological topics in our educational system.
For his part, the deputy CEO of Huawei Kuwait, Mr Che Long, said that Huawei is looking forward to more beneficial projects with academic institutions in Kuwait, and especially with AU, and that this lab is a first step towards achieving this goal. Dr Mohamed Abdul Niby, Dean of the College of Engineering at AU, announced that the Datacom Lab will be a great place for experimenting, innovating, and demonstrating networking technologies and methodologies for the university community as well as the community at large.
