This ICT academy has been established as a non-profit education programme where the learners will be provided training and learning solutions to meet the needs of the ICT sector.
An opening ceremony was organised on Wednesday at BUET.
State Minister for ICT Zunaid Ahmed Palak was present at the event as the chief guest and Pan Junfeng, CEO of Huawei Bangladesh and Dr Satya Prasad Majumder, vice-chancellor of BUET, were also present.
The participants in the academy's programme will get a chance to communicate with more than 3,000 instructors from around the world. There will be 83 certification programmes on 19 different subjects as per the current plan.
