Under the new partnership, Huawei will be providing content from the ICT industry that will be integrated into STI's curriculum for ICT programs. It will also hold training sessions for STI's faculty members as well as for STI students through internship programs, grant STI with company certifications and accreditation, and make Huawei equipment and devices available for use in STI classrooms and laboratories. Students will also be given an edge in seeking employment opportunities with Huawei through STI's Interactive Career Assistance & Recruitment System (I-CARES) where the company's job postings will be available. Furthermore, STI and Huawei will also be working together in building the STI-Huawei Innovation Center for new ICT systems, applications, and products.
