Huawei Technologies is
playing a key role in promoting technical and vocational training of the people
in Pakistan. Recently, this global technology leader sponsored the inaugural
ceremony of an initiative, launched by the Ministry of Education in Punjab, to
upgrade and modernize more than 1100 Technical and Vocational Training Schools
all over the province. This social-development programme will nurture the
skills needed for specific jobs and empower the students for higher
productivity and brighter careers.
This inaugural ceremony was held at the Pearl Continental Hotel
Lahore, where a number of training-equipment and tools were also donated to the
Technical Vocational Schools. More than 250 distinguished guests participated
in this event, including; the Consulate General of China in Lahore - Long
Dingbin, Minister for School Education Punjab - Rana Mashhood, the CEO of
Huawei - Saif Chi, Deputy CEO - Mr. Ahmed Bilal Masud, Secretary - Dr. Allah
Buksh Malik, Mayor of Lahore - Col. (R) Mubashar Javed and large number of

The ‘Punjab Skills Development Fund’
(PSDF) is also actively involved in addressing the basic and critical
skill-development needs of the youth, through technical and vocational
training, thus generating more opportunities for employability and also
encouraging entrepreneurship. The youth must realize the importance of having
hands-on experience and its benefits in generating sustainable income for them
and their families.
The Chief Executive Officer of Huawei said: “As Huawei is at the
forefront of technologies around the world, we are also nurturing a culture of
technological skills and expertise in Pakistan, to play our role as a socially
responsible organization. We are working towards high quality trainings aimed
at ultimately benefitting young students in Pakistan”.
