Nearly 500 students from Mapua University and other Philippine educational institutions attended the online recruiting event, hoping to kickstart their careers in the ICT industry and join Huawei's increasing pool of local talent.
In her speech welcoming the participants, Jade Cao, Huawei Philippines Human Resource Director, said Huawei aims to develop the Filipino ICT talent and train them in global standards to make the local talent ecosystem more glorious."We believe in collaboration and long-term partnership with Mapua. In the past, a lot of Mapua fresh graduates joined Huawei and already became the key staff of Huawei and fulfilling the vision and mission of Huawei," Cao said, noting that Mapua remains to be the top source of Huawei engineers.
Huawei Philippines' partnership with Mapua University started in 2015 with the Huawei Seeds for the Future Program. Since then, Huawei has launched several successful programs and events, including the Huawei ICT Academy, Huawei ICT Competition and Huawei Sales Elite Challenge in 2019. Last year, Huawei opened its scholarship program to Mapua students.
Graduates of Mapua University who currently work at Huawei Philippines hope that more Mapuans would take advantage of the chance to work at Huawei and obtain personal knowledge in their field of study.
Sharing his career journey, John Michael De Jesus, a Mapua graduate of Electronics Engineering and now a radio frequency engineer at Huawei, said he first heard about Huawei when he was in high school.
"I was searching about 3G, 4G, LTE, then I stumbled upon a globally leading telecom vendor, which is Huawei. Then I got interested in joining the company when I was an undergrad because I was studying mobile communications, and it was a major subject and I was passionate about it." De Jesus said during the event.
He encouraged his fellow Mapuans to join Huawei because he "found a better version of himself at the company career-wise.
For Christian Joshua Ulaye, a graduate of Computer Engineering and now a cloud core network engineer, he was motivated to apply at Huawei because of the experience of his fellow Mapuans.
"I first heard about Huawei when they went to Mapua for a job fair, and I got interested to join the company because of the good experiences I heard from fellow Mapuans working here," he said.
Ulaye added that after he got hired, he realized there is a lot to learn in his line of work. He described his job as "challenging but rewarding." The career fair with Mapua University is the first in a series of online campus recruitment activities of Huawei Philippines this month.
