SYDNEY – Australian higher education students are set to benefit from a $30 million investment by Huawei Australia in a national training and development centre.Huawei’s Australian National Training and Development

Centre in Sydney will train about 2000 people a year in the latest

technologies, including at least 100 Australian university and vocational

education ICT students – as well as Huawei staff and customers currently
