Huawei Launches Skills Development Center to Train 25,000 Talents in Saudi Arabia

Huawei Launches Skills Development Center to Train 25,000 Talents in Saudi Arabia

In partnership with the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology, Huawei has launched the Huawei Skills Development Center, a new initiative aimed at advancing the Kingdom’s digital talent landscape. The announcement was made on the sidelines of the LEAP 2025 conference in Riyadh.
The center marks a significant milestone in the strategic collaboration between the ministry and Huawei, focusing on developing digital capabilities and fostering ICT talent across the Kingdom, SPA reported.
With a goal of training 25,000 local talents by 2030, the center will offer a comprehensive annual training program covering key technologies such as artificial intelligence, cloud computing, cybersecurity, and emerging digital platforms. The curriculum will integrate theoretical knowledge with hands-on experience, equipping trainees with advanced skills to tackle complex technical challenges and drive digital transformation across various sectors.
The Huawei Skills Development Center will commence operations immediately, with the first training programs set to launch in the coming weeks.

Robots will begin moving sandbags that were used to absorb radiation-contaminated water after the 2011 Fukushima nuclear disaster as soon as next week, a spokesman for the plant operator said Friday.

TEPCO, the operator of the stricken Japanese power plant, says the bags on underground floors of two buildings have been left untouched following the worst nuclear accident since Chernobyl.

Radiation levels on the sandbags' surface are as high as 4.4 sieverts per hour, which means "humans can die if they approach" them, TEPCO spokesman Tatsuya Matoba told AFP.

Japanese media reports said there were 2,850 bags to be collected, a number which has not been confirmed by TEPCO, which says that they weigh 41.5 tons (91,500 pounds) in total.

Two robots developed to collect the bags, one with a moving claw, were on Wednesday placed on the underground floors, Matoba said.

Workers will use them to "carefully" bring the sandbags out in an operation that TEPCO aims to finish by the end of the 2027 fiscal year.

The bags will then be placed inside containers for radioactive material and kept at a temporary storage site outside the buildings, the spokesman said.

Three of Fukushima's six reactors went into meltdown 14 years ago after a huge tsunami swamped the facility.

The tsunami, triggered by a 9.0-magnitude earthquake, left 18,500 people dead or missing.

No one was recorded as having been directly killed by the nuclear accident, which forced evacuations and left parts of the surrounding area uninhabitable.

In addition to contaminated sandbags, around 880 tons of radioactive debris remain in the plant.

Removing this is seen as the most daunting challenge in the decades-long decommissioning project because of the dangerously high radiation levels involved.

A trial removal of nuclear debris from the plant began last year.
