Huawei Ghana, as part of its talent development initiative, has begun the 2024 edition of its annual campus recruitment program aimed at connecting excellent ICT talents to industry for national service and subsequently career opportunities.
The program, which is themed “Beyond Limits”, seeks to recruit 200 graduates across 10 universities in the country, after which the top 80 will be selected to undergo national service with the company.
The Human Resource Director of Huawei Ghana, Mr. Jay Xi, emphasized that the company’s contribution to Ghana’s digital transformation agenda goes beyond infrastructure development to the nurturing of local talent.
According to him, “Investing in talent is as important as investing in business, as human capital is the driving force behind innovation and progress”.
This philosophy, he said, has guided the company’s approach to academia partnerships, where it strives to equip students with the necessary skills and knowledge to remain relevant and competitive in the digital age.
He, therefore, urged the students to cultivate a spirit of determination and a willingness to step outside their comfort zones, to break free from all limitations, as the program's theme suggests.
During these campus visits, students will not only learn about Huawei and its diverse career paths but also have the opportunity to interact with staff from the company and undergo aptitude tests.
Shortlisted students will be interviewed at a later date with individuals who pass the interview process offered National service opportunities.
As part of the talent modelling process, designated mentors will be assigned to each beneficiary to ensure their smooth transition from school to the workplace with exceptional candidates offered employment after the national service period.
Huawei, over the past few years, has invested in Ghana’s education sector through the training of over 20,000 ICT professionals across the top 16 universities in the country under its ICT academy initiative.
The company, under its Annual ICT Job Fair program, Internships and National Service opportunities, has helped connect over 700 graduate students in STEM to readily available jobs in partnership with the government of Ghana.
Huawei as the leading provider of information communication technologies and smart devices is committed to creating pathways that connect skilled talent to available opportunities in the ICT industry.
