The Huawei Day – Intelligent World 2030, co-organised by UTAR Faculty of Information and Communication Technology (FICT) and Huawei Technologies Malaysia Sdn Bhd (Huawei), was held on 17 and 18 July 2023 at the Heritage Hall Building of UTAR Kampar Campus. The two-day event saw numerous recruiters from Huawei present to carry out interviews for the students and alumni.

Huawei Day – Intelligent World 2030 aimed to systematically describe the intelligent world in the next decade and forecast industry trends, using ICT to create new value and promote social progress and development, helping industries identify new opportunities and discover new value.

Also, the career day offered a platform for students and alumni to achieve their dream jobs and learn about the recruitment process to join Huawei. It also encouraged them to build a connected world together with Huawei by learning innovative technologies to a greater extent.

The first talk was kick-started by Huawei Service Experience Consulting & System Integration Carolyn Wai Kar Yin with her topic titled “Exploring the Intelligent World 2030”. She said, “Huawei is a leading global provider of information and communications technology (ICT) infrastructure and smart devices. Since Huawei is a technology company, we have four key business groups, namely consumer business (end users), carrier business (telecommunication companies), enterprise business (works closely with partners and customers on ICT infrastructure and utilises their technological strengths), and cloud business (OneDrive). Besides, we are also focusing on sustainable development, as Huawei continues to increase its investment in research and development (R&D), in pursuit of innovation, stretching the bounds of possibility by identifying new industry needs.”

In addition, Wai also added that the technology has leveraged and moved forward to have solid ground to ensure connectivity. “Connectivity is one of the key parts of Huawei to support the technologies. All of this technology are grouped into five big categories, namely Artificial Intelligence, Internet of Things (IoT), Cloud Computing, Big Data and Edge Computing or known as AICDE. The AICDE will be flourishing tremendously and will be transforming the technology industry in the next 10 years,” she added. Wai ended her talk with the presentation of Huawei’s corporate video and an insightful Q&A session.

The next sharing session titled “Elevate Your Potential with Huawei” was conducted by Huawei Human Resource Manager of Asia Pacific Delivery & Service Department Ms Yong Sze Miin. She said, “As the global provider of ICT infrastructure and smart devices, our vision and mission in Huawei is to bring digital to every person, home and organisation for a fully connected and intelligent world. As of now, Huawei has 200,000 employees, expanding to more than 170 countries and regions, ranked number 2 in R&D investment, ranked number 96 on Fortune Global 500, and ranked number 23 on Forbes World’s Best Employers.”

“Besides, our core values such as staying customer-centric; inspiring dedication; persevering and growing by reflection are the internal driving force that propelled us to become what we are today, and moved us forward. As an employer, we look for three characteristics when we recruit talents, which include being positive, open and diverse.  We look for the value in people, and work with them in diverse ways and dynamically,” she enthused. Yong also outlined the diverse learning resources for career development at Huawei with their systematic training programmes, and the challenging opportunities for rapid career advancement. She shared the available positions at Huawei and the benefits of joining Huawei as an employee and intern before ending her talk with an insightful Q&A session.
