Under the programme, various initiatives in partnership with MDeC have been initiated as a catalyst between universities and industry transition, including the setting up of Huawei Advanced IP Technology and Optical Communication Labs at the MSC Malaysia Knowledge Workers Development Centre in Cyberjaya, the development of programmes under the MSC Malaysia MyUniAlliance programme that include HUTL, Train the Trainer and curriculum courseware for undergraduate students, the continuation of the MSC Malaysia Huawei Scholastic Awards and Job Camp for fresh graduates, and the implementation of the MyProCert certification programme for working professionals.

"We at Huawei have come to be inspired and motivated by the dedication of the Government to head towards a knowledge and innovation driven economy. We are proud to be able to contribute towards this goal by developing local talents and positioning Malaysia as a world class global ICT training hub, and now with the launch of the MGTC and corporation with the 10 local universities we are set to continue down this road", said Huawei Malaysia managing director Dai Jingyue.

The establishment of the MGTC and the agreement with the 10 universities is set to create further employment opportunities in the ICT sector, contributing towards the success of Malaysia in becoming a high income economy by 2020. Huawei's continuous efforts in this area aim to spearhead the government's economic development initiatives and are well on track towards achieving the Digital Malaysia status.
