UNED-HUAWEI Course in Cloud Computing and Big Data
The UNED-HUAWEI Course in Cloud Computing and Big Data
we want to present
belongs to the UNED-HUAWEI Chair
which was set up last 24 November.
The main objective of the Chair is to train students
and to offer them paid-work experience in Huawei Technologies.
Hence, this course intends
to prepare them in these subjects.
Students will have the opportunity to know first-hand
how different departments work in a company like Huawei,
which currently has about 1,000 staff in its Spanish HQ.
It is a worldwide leader in IT.
The course will be held from 4 April to 19 April, 2016
it is online accessible and free of charge, funded by the Chair
and in this period the student will be able to interact
in our interactive platform to train themselves.
The course is fundamentally implemented in two training modules.
Firstly, we have a module on Big Data.
We will talk about Big Data concepts,
its key technologies and technology development.
Secondly, topics related to Cloud Computing,
things like what cloud computing is will be shown,
and issues related to it.
We will deal with different business models
and its applications on the market,
and finally, technological solutions
submitted by Huawei.
In Spain we are sure about the importance
of not only encouraging training in new technologies
but also identifying talent.
Without a shadow of a doubt, paid-work experience
is a great way and a useful tool for the company
to identify that talent and to, obviously, attract and keep it.
We are open to all students
although it is preferably focused to our students
since at the end of the course only UNED students
will be able to participate in the selection process
to get one of the six-month-scholarships in Huawei.
This initiative, the Cloud Computing and Big Data Chair, signed with UNED,
is part of a broader strategy
of the company in our country, which we have called
"Creating opportunities through education".
This strategy, and specially, this Chair,
Is a very clear example of two ways
of the campaign that we want to have in Spain
and we have already started.
Not only is it to train and transfer the technological expertise of the company
but also to contribute and create real employment opportunities.
