<\/p>\nHuawei has partnered Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) to run Huawei Authorized Information and Network Academy (HAINA) program for students at the University.<\/p>\n
The HAINA initiative is a global ICT technology education program which authorizes universities and tertiary education organizations to deliver Huawei certification courses to their students. This is the first accreditation in Ghana with plans underway to spread to other universities.<\/p>\n
The program adopts the increasingly popular university-enterprise cooperation model and includes training and industry certification in popular ICT technologies, such as WLAN, security, storage and cloud computing.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Through HAINA, IT students at KNUST will acquire knowledge of cutting-edge ICT technology and gain elaborate hands-on practical training experiences. At present, KNUST students going through this HAINA lab<\/p>\n
will be able to obtain their HCNA\/P-Cloud Computing certification, thus helping to boost their ICT skills to increase their chances of employability. Additionally, HAINA-trained graduates will be given first priority for internships and employment opportunities at Huawei and its partner companies.<\/p>\n
