The “Huawei ICT Academy” (Huawei Academy for Information and Communication Technologies) was officially launched in Cotonou on Monday. The program is intended to open a door to the world of high technology for Beninese students

The “Huawei ICT Academy” will cover five public and private universities in Benin not only prepare Beninese students for the job market, but also provide the country with ICT talent and make it more competitive in this field in Africa. It includes several modules, including teacher training and certification by Huawei, the delivery of certification courses to students, and free access for students to the certification exam. The managing director of Huawei Benin, Wang Jun, considered that this program meets the ambitions of Beninese President Patrice Talon to position the country as the digital platform of West Africa and to make ICT the main lever for its socio-economic development
