Employees equipped with qualifications and competencies relating to the information and communications technology (ICT) industry are in high demand around the world. This is particularly true in Shenzhen, a global hub of ICT companies and innovation. To keep pace with demand for skilled labour in the ICT sector, Shenzhen Polytechnic (SZPT) has worked closely with Huawei on jointly developing programmes, designing courses and cultivating new qualifications and competencies that match the needs of the ICT industry.
