Five teams from Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET), University of Dhaka (DU), and Chittagong University of Engineering and Technology (CUET)) have won Huawei’s annual talent development program ‘Seeds for the Future- 2016’.
The winning teams, each comprising of two members, will visit Huawei HQ and its other establishments across China from October 24 to November 4.
The trip will give the winners a learning opportunity through exposing them to the latest developments in the ICT sector. The winners are mostly final year students who can prepare themselves better through this technology orientation program.
The winning teams are: Sheikh Nasif Imtiaz and Wasif Adnan Khan (BUET); Zafir Shafiee and Tanzin Mubarrat Syed (BUET); Nifat Ara Nipa and Ummul Afia Shammi (DU); Syed Mahir Tazwar and Tasfia Kabir (DU); and Md Rafi Islam and Avra Bhattacharjee (CUET).
The trip consists of two parts. In the first part, the students will attend introductory Chinese language and cultural classes at Beijing Language and Culture University. In the second part, the students will receive hands-on technical training from Huawei.
During this phase, they will travel to Shenzhen to work at Huawei’s Headquarters, where they will be familiarized with the company’s culture, strategy, and values. They will also visit Huawei’s state-of-the-art R&D and factory facilities.
