The collaboration will help MCMC achieve its goal of producing digital leaders who can improve their understanding and skills in the field of technology and leadership, according to a statement by the commission as seen by A+M.

Simon Sun, CEO of Huawei Malaysia also reportedly said that the programme will offer a comprehensive blended learning approach which includes online learning workshops, participation in conferences, a capstone project at Huawei Malaysia and a seven-day industry visit to China.

He also said that regardless of industry, leaders of organisations, ministries and academica must understand the different domains of technology to drive its adoption and capitalise on its transformative capabilities to create improved outcomes, according to Bernama.

The three-year programme is expected to engage 300 participants and cover areas such as 5G technology, artificial intelligence, Internet of Things, cloud computing, big data, green technology and cybersecurity.

The collaboration comes shortly after Huawei and MCMC reportedly signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to collaborate on talent development initiatives for the communications and multimedia industry.

As part of the collaboration, the two parties will co-develop and implement specialised programmes, micro-credentials and certifications.
