Huawei Launches New Digital Skills Programme for South African Women
Huawei has officially launched its 2026 Women in Tech Digital Skills Programme in South Africa. This initiative aims to support 50 female leaders by providing them with advanced training in artificial intelligence (AI) and other essential digital tools.
As the global economy becomes increasingly focused on technology, the programme seeks to bridge the digital divide. By equipping women with high-level technical skills, Huawei hopes to prepare them for leadership roles within the growing AI-driven digital economy.
The initiative focuses on practical learning, allowing participants to gain hands-on experience with modern software and systems. Organizers believe that providing these resources will help women contribute more effectively to South Africa’s technology sector and drive innovation across the country.
This programme is part of a broader effort to increase female representation in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). By investing in local talent, Huawei aims to create a more inclusive and diverse workforce for the future.
Applications and training will continue as the company works to expand its impact on local digital development. Through this project, the participants are expected to gain the confidence and expertise needed to lead digital transformation projects in their respective industries.
