The Academy prepares future university graduates to work in information and communication technologies (ICTs). Students gain knowledge and skills favorable to start a career in ICTs, continue education, and master other technical specialties.
The program is based on a blended learning model. It combines the high quality of traditional education with direct contact between a teacher and a student and training courses and testing tools based on modern technology.
‘The Huawei ICT Academy is a brilliant example of a joint learning and research environment at the University and the high-tech company – Huawei. This environment serves not only the basis for training highly qualified specialists but also a means of achieving joint world-class technological breakthroughs,’ said Michael Zgurovsky, Professor and Rector of Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute.
‘The Ministry of Digital Transformation is glad to see one of the world leaders in ICTs technological developments and the leading technical Ukrainian university cooperating. Upgrading technology equipment in education, science, and research will foster new technologies. Training highly qualified specialists in designing, building Internet networks, meeting customer needs, setting up and servicing Internet access networks will improve the digital infrastructure,’ said Yurii Matsyk, Director of the Directorate for Digital Infrastructure Development of the Ministry of Digital Transformation.
‘We appreciate our long-term cooperation and partnership with Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute. We hope the equipment we present today will help students learn and promote new highly qualified telecommunications professionals in Ukraine. We hope they will make a significant contribution to Ukraine’s digital economy,’ said Zhang Ge, Director of Human Resources at Huawei Ukraine.
As part of the Huawei ICT Academy, teachers of Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute passed certification in HCIA-Datacom and HCIA-WLAN.
HCIA-Datacom is a core course in network technologies. Students gain relevant knowledge and skills in routing and switching, security and wireless technologies, software-controlled networks, etc.
The HCIA-Datacom course is the first educational course of the Huawei ICT Academy available in Ukrainian. The Faculty of Radio Engineering and the Department of International Relations of Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute translated HCIA-Datacom into Ukrainian.
The Huawei ICT Academy offices are in such higher educational institutions as the National Technical University of Ukraine “Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute”, Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Kharkiv National University of Radio Electronics, Lviv Polytechnic National University, National Aviation University; State University of Telecommunications, Ivan Franko National University of Lviv, and STEP Computer Academy in Kharkiv.
Huawei Ukraine cooperates with several Ukrainian universities in various scientific fields.
