马来西亚首相推介华为马来西亚全球资讯工艺培训中心，推动国家迈向创新、数码与知识型经济

华为发展马来西亚资讯工艺人力资源的努力取得良好进展

（吉隆坡2012年6月14日讯）全球领先的资讯工艺方案供应商华为，今日推介华为马来西亚全球培训中心，它是华为在中国境外设立的首个全球资讯工艺培训中心，放眼让马来西亚成为新一代资讯工艺技术的全球专业培训基地。

策略性投资推动国家进步，迈向创新、数码与知识型经济

配合推介礼，华为也和10间大学签署合约，在马来西亚多媒体超级走廊的MyUniAlliance（华为）计划下，在所有10间大学分别成立华为大学培训实验室（Huawei University Training Lab），进一步培养学生在新一代资讯工艺技术方面的兴趣，例如云计算（Cloud Computing）、LTE以及固定宽屏（Fixed Broadband），同时落实华为要在2016年培训1万名马来西亚资讯工艺专业人才的目标。

马来西亚政府要提升马来西亚资讯工艺领域的努力显而易见，包括推出数码转型计划（Digital Transformation Programme），以及2010年经济转型计划旗下的国家关键经济领域。华为大力支持这项议程，并在2011年4月与马来西亚政府签署了一项协议，要在5年内培训1万名资讯工艺专业人才，发展他们的才华以实现一个以知识与创新为推动力的经济。

配合政府在2020年人才路线图的策略目标，华为推出了人力资源发展计划，目的就是要加速马来西亚电询与资讯工艺领域的人才发展，主要针对在籍大学生、刚毕业的大学生与就业的专业人士。

在这项计划下，华为与多媒体发展机构合作推动各种措施，作为大学和企业之间的催化剂，包括在赛城的马来西亚多媒体超级走廊知识型员工发展中心，设立华为先进IP技术和光学通讯实验室；在马来西亚多媒体超级走廊的MyUniAlliance计划下发展各种计划，例如华为大学培训实验室、培训员培训计划，以及针对在籍大学生的课程软件；持续举办马来西亚多媒体超级走廊华为学术奖；为刚毕业的大学生举办就业营；以及为就业的专业人士落实MyProCert认证计划。

华为马来西亚董事经理Dai Jingyue表示，“政府致力于带领国家迈向创新知识型经济的努力，让我们华为受到启发与鼓励，我们非常光荣能为这项目标尽一份绵力，协助培训本地人才，让马来西亚成为一个世界级的全球资讯工艺培训枢纽。随着华为马来西亚全球培训中心的设立，同时与10间本地大学建立合作关系，我们已经开始朝目标迈进”。

持续性的努力以提升马来西亚在全球电讯与资讯工艺舞台上的地位

首相拿督斯里纳吉表示，“人才是所有经济与社会发展的基石，华为与多媒体发展机构对资讯工艺专业人才的注重，对发展未来领袖和推动我们的转型计划至关紧要。今天我们见证这个重要的步骤，促成马来西亚政府与私人界的成功合作，我们希望这种合作关系能持续下去”。

华为马来西亚全球培训中心的设立，以及与10间大学签署的协议，将在资讯工艺领域制造更多的就业机会，推动马来西亚在2020年成为高收入国家。华为在这个领域的持续贡献，就是要刺激政府的经济发展议程，迈向数码国家的愿景。
