Telecommunications firm Huawei Zimbabwe on Monday launched the 2022 edition of the Seeds for the Future Programme under which 30 university students will undergo a week-long virtual training course to upgrade their information and communication technology (ICT) skills.

Addressing delegates at the launch in Harare, Information Communication Technology, Postal and Courier Services Minister Dr Jenfan Muswere said ICTs are crucial drivers for inclusive and sustainable development.

“In our quest to become an advanced digitally propelled nation by the year 2030, Zimbabwe has developed an ambitious ICT blueprint that will enable it to fully utilise technology and innovation in order to turn around its economy.

“Over the last two decades we have also developed a viable (ICT) infrastructure to reinforce robust economic development in a sustainable manner,” he said.

Minister Muswere said the Seeds for the Future Programme is a global flagship corporate social responsibility initiative whose main aim is to cultivate local ICT professionals in countries where it is operating.
