Myanmar has inaugurated on Monday, Feb. 29, the first Huawei Authorized Information, Network Academy (HAINA) in Thanlyin University of Science and Technology in Yangon, Myanmar, the Xinhua News Agency reported.
Under Huawei's guidance, HAINA aims to develop human resources with information and communication technology (ICT) of Huawei globally.
The report said that the establishment of HAINA in Myanmar is part of the memorandum of understanding signed on Nov. 11, 2014 by science and technology departments of Myanmar and Huawei. The deal provides free assistance in the development of ICT human resources in Myanmar.
Huawei and Thanlyin University of Science and Technology also signed in March 2015 a contract on donation of the HAINA, the report added.
Chinese Ambassador Hong Liang told the press that Huawei is making use of its knowledge in technology to help Myanmar people.
In Myanmar, the rapid development of ICT products has created a shortage of human resources, which prompted Huawei to address the issue through the National ICT Human Resources Development Plan, which covers middle and high schools in remote mountainous areas.
In 2015 alone, Huawei has established 140 HAINAs in over 20 countries globally, benefiting more than 5,000 people.
In December, Huawei joined Cambodia's National Institute of Posts, Telecommunications and Information Communication Technology (NIPTICT) to launch a HAINA to promote telecommunications and ICT training in Cambodia and support the city's development as a hub for ICT in the kingdom, Xinhua reported.
The Chinese company also set up in the U.K. with Henley Business School.
According to an article published by www.4-traders.com, HAINA in U.K. will allow students to learn big data, cloud computing technology, IT storage systems, data center management, computer networks, Huawei technology and other professional knowledge and get Huawei's online learning network resources.
Huawei has worked with more than 100 universities in China, North America, Europe, Australia and other countries to set up HAINA.
The company said that it will continue to increase investment in education in the next three to five years, and work together with more than 500 colleges and universities worldwide to train ICT personnel.
