Minister of information, Communication Technology and Courier Dr Jenfan Muswere Services has hailed Huawei Seeds for the Future Program for boosting ICT industry growth, driving the development of different sectors and contributing to the labor market through the provision of information, communication technology among youth.
Officially opening the launch, Dr .Jenfan Muswere, the Minister of ICT, Postal and Courier Services said, “connectivity is the driver for inclusive, sustainable socio- economic development and it is the duty of all ICT players from government to the private sector to ensure that all Zimbabweans benefit that connectivity brings.”
He appointed out the key challenge is the low investment in technology and the lack of a large pool of skilled ICT professionals.
“Huawei initiative is in line with Zimbabwe’s digitization strategy since it helps cultivate and pool together ICT professional and students that are crucial to industry development, thus boosting ICT industry growth, driving the development of different sectors and contributing to the labour market”.
The initiative is a cog in the Huawei Technologies’ Global Corporate Social Responsibility drive.
Starting out in 2008, the Seeds for the Future program have transcended all limits possible in developing, promoting, and improving ICT talent. What chiefly took me aback is the program’s pragmatic approach to imparting innovation in young minds and I would also like to underscore how the Seeds for the Future program align with Zimbabwe’s current Industry 4.0 transition that represents the fourth industrial revolution that has occurred in manufacturing.
