“This collaboration with Huawei will equip our students with the skills to lead in cloud computing technology projects and enable them to respond effectively to growing industry demands in this area. Huawei’s support for student development initiatives is greatly valued as they will provide our students with opportunities for internships at Huawei’s offices and scholarships that will help to groom future professionals in this field,” said Mr Boo Kheng Hua, Principal and CEO Temasek Polytechnic.
“We are excited about this new partnership with Temasek Polytechnic,” said Tony Zhang, South Pacific Regional VP of Huawei Enterprise. “The school has a rich heritage of training future industry leaders, and we are honored to support its dual mission of education and research while also advancing the development of cloud computing.
