 Huawei Kenya has kicked off the registration for the 2024-2025 ICT Competition in collaboration with leading universities and TVET institutions in Kenya.  This annual competition is part of Huawei's ongoing commitment to nurture digital talent and enhance ICT skills among the youth, aligning with Kenya’s digital transformation agenda. 

The Huawei ICT Competition is designed to offer a platform for students to demonstrate their knowledge in key ICT areas such as networking, cloud computing, artificial intelligence (AI), 5G, and cybersecurity. The competition gives students the opportunity to gain hands-on experience, access training resources, and network with industry professionals, ultimately contributing to the development of Kenya’s ICT sector. 

“As we embark on the journey to create a digitally empowered Kenya, this competition is an integral part of developing the next generation of ICT leaders. Through initiatives like the ICT Competition, we are offering students in Kenya a platform to showcase their talent, gain practical skills, and contribute to the country’s digital economy,” said Michael Kamau, Partnerships and Corporate Affairs Manager at Huawei Kenya. 

The competition offers participants a unique opportunity to sharpen their ICT skills, with access to free learning materials, expert mentorship, and industry-recognized certifications. Top-performing students also stand to win, and potential job offers at Huawei and its partners. It also offers winners the chance to represent Kenya on the global stage in the final rounds, competing against other bright finalists from across the world. 

“The competition is also part of Huawei's broader collaboration with Kenyan universities to integrate practical ICT training into academic curricula,” Mr. Kamau said.
