She added that Huawei Egypt will provide a specialized training course at the NTI premises for 100 graduates. Talented trainees will have a chance to receive job training before hiring them at Huawei Technologies Company and other local telecommunication companies, she noted.

Since 19 years ago, Huawei Egypt has been keen to provide support for the ICT sector in Egypt, through offering the state-of- the-art global technologies and launching several initiatives to train young engineers, its CEO Liu Dazhou said.

Huawei Egypt will offer 30 training opportunities to select distinguished cadres for appointing them at Huawei Technologies Co, Dazhou added.
