partners:

These certications are offered to

employees of Huaweis partners who would

prefer to acquire specialized marketing and

technical knowledge and skills of Huaweis

technologies on IP, Transmission Network,

Huawei certication is not only the unique

certication system that embraces a widespectrum of technological domains, but also

provides compatible solutions to confront

the ICT talent career development life cycle.

1) Career Certication:

Its three-level certication model is tailor-

made to satisfy divergent needs from new

employees to technical experts.

A. Associate Level Certication:It is an

entry level certication which is preliminarily

intended for new employees or juniorengineers to enhance the basic knowledge

and skill required for the position.

B. Professional Level Certication:It is

an intermediate level certication which is

designed for senior engineers to enhance

Coupling with the ceaseless development

of telecommunication technology, there is

a growing convergence between IT and CT.

The boundaries among operators, enterprises

and consumer markets are fading. The use of

the leading innovative technologies, including

cloud computing, internet and mobile

broadband, will bring about substantial

advanced opportunities to ICT products.

Competent human resources are critical

for the expansion of an organization.

Simultaneously, the evolution of technology

means higher quality requirements on the

related professionals. For ICT practitioners, theyare benchmarked by the concept of Integrated

Knowledge with Cross-disciplinary Skills.

Based on our years of experience in nurturing

ICT talents and profound understanding

on the growth of this industry, Huawei

introduces an innovative proposal to cultivate

quality all-rounded ICT talents. Pacing

with the career development process, the

proposal starts the training from educational

institutions. For practitioners who have

already engaged in the industry, themotivation to continuing develop themselves

professionally is reinforced by a series of

progressive career technology certications

which shall help to nourish and sustain ICT

talents for afrming quality of services.

The existing technical certications in the

market are for IT or IP practitioners. There

is an obvious gap for CT certications

to ll. Concurrently, the growth of ICT

technology implies the explicit demand for

ICT practitioners who are equipped with

integrated knowledge and skills to meet

the challenges of new products and service

requirements. Huaweis comprehensive

technology certication system is the unique

system in the industry that blends IP, CT and

IT competencies in a seamless way.

Based on the solid foundation in developing

technological knowledge and skills and in

matching with the industrys characteristics,

Huaweis certication system embraces the

markets of operator, energy, government,nance, and corporations, etc.

It has two key directions:

1) A holistic career certication system:

It focuses on the professional technology

of IP, IT and CT industries. Drawing on

results from investigations and intensive

analysis of role related tasks, a quality

assurance model called Competence

Element Library is established as the

foundation of the certication system.The three levels of certication, Associate,

Professional and Expert, provide a clear

picture for enterprises to anchor the career

development path for their employees. In

return, the enterprises will benet from

the enhanced pool of human resource.

The rst batch of certications to be

offered is: IP (Routing and Switching),

LTE, Transmission, and Cloud Computing

Certications. It will be succeeded by the

introduction of WLAN, Security, Server and

Storage Certications in the coming years.

2) Employment Education: Huawei

believes that ICT talents could better be

cultivated through advancing the training

to educational institutions. With strongcooperation between school and industry,

students employability will be promoted

and talents for the industries can be evolved.

A. Authorized Network Academy:

Cooperation with educational institutions

to develop ICT talents through Teaching

Laboratory Solution, University Curriculum

Authorization Solution, Train-The-Trainer

Solution and Student Certication

Solution. These cooperation opportunities

allow institutions obtaining the frontierICT technology courses with laboratory

environment for advancing students

knowledge and skills in practice. As a

result, the ICT industry will have a pool of

qualied talents.

B. Targeted Pre-career Solution:This is an

innovative cooperation model for operators

to develop their new employees. It advances

the on-the-job training of students to the

nal year of university studies. According to

the demands of operators and professional

requirements, Huawei selects the capable

students from qualied institutions for

the employing units. Subsequent to

the screening, a six-month customized

training programme will be offered to

the chosen candidates. Upon completion

of the training programme and passing

the written and oral examinations, those

successful candidates can be recommended

for employment in the corresponding units.

This solution targets to reducing costs in

recruiting and training new employees. It

will be a key direction for new staff trainingof ICT industry in a predictable future.

One of the operators in China has a huge

demand for human resource in network

optimization and maintenance, data and

internet technologies. In view of the fact

that it takes extended time to cultivate suitable

talents for meeting post requirements from the

traditional manpower development cycle, the

Human Resource Department faces urgent need

to upgrade the capability of the post-related

skills.To its dismay, the newly employed fresh

graduates have problems of lacking of required

knowledge and skills of the employed industry.

The HR Department faces a real challenge to

establish innovative mechanism to nurture

competent human resource for overcoming the

competing markets and evolution of enterprises

in the era of rapid development of ICT industry.

To address the issue, the operator selected

40 candidates from school to undergo

Huaweis tailor-made training courses which

are developed after investigation into the

existing tasks requirements of the posts.

The posts include Internet, Core Network,

Transmission and IP, etc.

After receiving six-month of lectures on

knowledge and practical training, the

trainees have proven mastery on technologyknowledge and skills, and most important,

they have the proper attitude at work.

Through adopting the Solution, the operator

could establish the competency of new staff

within a short period of time and support the

demands of its departments. The success of the

Solution has demonstrated the effectiveness

and efciency of this innovative mechanism

for staff training and development.
