Employee Training and Development

At Huawei, we consider our employees to be outstanding talent when they are qualified for their positions. Employees can choose to become professionals if they want to take on challenges that tackle uncertainty and constantly push their limits. They can also take up specialist positions if they want to pursue excellence in one position for an extended period of time. Regardless of their chosen positions, everyone is valued and their contributions will be respected.

For professionals, Huawei offers two distinct career paths: the manager path and the expert path. They can advance while switching between these two paths. Our employees are given plenty of training and mobility opportunities during career development. We have implemented a mechanism for department-initiated talent transfers and an internal talent market for free mobility. Both are intended to drive employee mobility and help our employees become more versatile in multiple disciplines. In 2024, more than 10,000 employees moved into positions that gave them more room for career development through the internal mobility mechanism. We also offer employees a global platform where they have the chance to work and grow in different domains and locations.

At Huawei, we believe that the brightest minds can develop even brighter ones. As such, we select business professionals and managers with successful hands-on experience as trainers or coaches to provide personalized training for employees at different stages of their careers. For new employees, we have new employee orientation and mentorship programs. For those who have already worked for some time in their positions, there are programs to help them hone their expertise. For managers, we have management capability development programs.

Huawei provides comprehensive, systematic learning resources and platforms to help employees self-learn and grow. Our iLearning digital and intelligent platform provides a diverse array of courses that allow employees to learn necessary knowledge and skills online anytime, anywhere. We have also developed more than 20,000 internal and external knowledge forums and communities, where our employees can share and exchange ideas with peers and experts from different domains and engage in online, interactive, and self-directed learning.

In 2024, we carried out a wide range of training activities. Employees across the company spent an average of 65.5 hours in training delivered by more than 27,000 trainers. Our smart classroom solution 2.0, which was upgraded with AI and the latest digital technologies, supports hybrid teaching to boost efficiency and quality. The solution features a digital class coordinator, offers a diverse array of teaching tools, and migrates teaching resources to the cloud, delivering an immersive learning experience.
