With the goal of discovering local talent, Huawei, the Chinese telecom giant, is holding its second-round regional job fair in Bahir Dar, Ethiopia.
Graduates from Bahir Dar, Gondar, Eniibara, and Debark Universities were among the attendees of the event. The Huawei ICT Academy’s plan for this year includes working in collaboration with Technical Vocational and Training (TVT) institutions. As a result, the company also solicited resumes from TVT graduates.
More than 800 resumes were collected from participants at the event. The best candidates will be chosen from the resumes and will be given a chance to join Huawei.
We discussed the job fair with a few of the applicants. They are delighted to be able to submit their resume and connect with Huawei and other companies. They also requested that Huawei hire more people and provide a large number of internship opportunities.
Our company is well-known for encouraging new graduates from all over Ethiopia. We also offer opportunities to those with prior experience. We welcome recent graduates to gain experience by working as interns in our offices. In addition, we have given the best interns the opportunity to work in our company. Our goal for this year was to provide internship opportunities to over 300 interns, which we have already accomplished.
In order to promote opportunities to graduate students, Huawei Ethiopia has hosted a number of job fairs. In collaboration with Addis Ababa University, the company held its second annual hand-shaking forum in the capital, Addis Ababa, on May 9 and 10, 2022. It also held its first round of regional job fairs in Hawassa and Haromaya recently.
Huawei, a global leader in information and communications technology (ICT) infrastructure, has been working in Ethiopia for more than 20 years. The company is working to bring digital to every person, home, and organization in order to create a fully connected, intelligent world.
The company’s motto in Ethiopia is “In Ethiopia, for Ethiopians.” We are honored to serve Ethiopians in any way we can. We would also like to thank Ethiopians for their efforts.
According to current student operation data, over 4,700 students are registered and affiliated with ICT academies. Over 610 students from the Amhara region are active and attending online and onsite classes, and over 460 students are affiliated with these ICT academies.
