Windhoek, Aug. 18 – Ms. Emma Shivute, a former participant of the Huawei Seeds for the Future program, shared her journey of growth and inspiration at the opening ceremony of the 2023 program in Windhoek on Friday.
Shivute said that she was a fresh-faced high school graduate when she first heard about the program. She was lost and didn’t know which path to take in life, but the program gave her the opportunity to explore the world of technology and discover her passion for IT.
“The Seeds for the Future program was a fundamental moment in my life,” Shivute said. “It was more than just an opportunity to gain technical knowledge; it was a transformative experience that searched deep into the world of technology, sparking a fire within me to explore and excel, and encouraging me to think critically about my future in IT.”
Shivute said that the program also helped her to develop her soft skills, such as communication, teamwork, and problem-solving. These skills have been invaluable in her career, and she is grateful to Huawei for providing her with the opportunity to learn and grow.
“I am immensely thankful to Huawei for investing in young minds like mine,” Shivute said. “The program’s impact on my personal and professional development cannot be overstated.”
Shivute is now a successful IT professional, and she is passionate about inspiring others to pursue careers in technology. She is a strong advocate for the Seeds for the Future program, and she believes that it is a valuable opportunity for young people to learn and grow.
“I am proud to be associated with Seed for the Future and look forward to paying it forward by inspiring others to embrace the unlimited opportunities that technology has to offer,” Shivute said.
The Seeds for the Future program is a flagship program of Huawei that has been running for over 20 years. The program has trained over 1 million people in developing countries.
The 2023 Huawei Seeds for the Future program in Namibia is expected to benefit the participants by providing them with the skills they need to succeed in the ICT industry. The program is also expected to contribute to the development of Namibia’s digital economy.
In her speech, Shivute wished the participants of the 2023 program well and encouraged them to learn as much as they can from the latest Huawei technologies that they will be exposed to.
“The future of technology is bright, and I am confident that you will all play a role in shaping it,” Shivute said.
