10 local students to receive training from Huawei headquarters
DHAKA, Sept 6, 2020 (BSS) – Huawei’s “Seeds for the Future 2020” campaigned has named 10 outstanding ICT talents from five Bangladeshi universities who would receive training from the technology giant’s headquarters.
A total of 500 students participated in the selection phases and the ten became champion based on their CGPA (Cumulative Grade Points Average), spot examination and their presentation on new technology and innovative companies, said a press release today.
A 5-day online program will consist of compulsory courses, live-streamed sessions with Huawei experts and guest speakers, elective courses, and self-learning about Chinese culture.
The core curriculum will cover 5G, Cloud Computing, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and many more. On the other hand, the elective courses might vary from the digital economy, industry trends to leadership skills.
Huawei has been organizing this event in Bangladesh for the last five years. Traditionally, the champion students would go to China for a study trip for two-week. However, due to COVID-19, the training has been shifted to an online program.
The champions are Afsara Benazir and Khandaker Mushfiqur Rahman from Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (CSE Department), Tasnia Sultana and Abdullah Al Miraj from Chittagong University of Engineering and Technology (EEE Department), Rabeya Tus Sadia and Amit Karmakar from Rajshahi University of Engineering and Technology (CSE Department), Adiba Tabassum Chowdhury and Arifur Rahman from Dhaka University (EEE Department), and Faria Rahman and Foyez-ul Islam from Khulna University of Engineering and Technology (EEE Department).
