Information Communication Technology (ICT), Postal and courier services Minister Dr Jenfan Muswere congratulated 310 graduates from TelOne Centre for Learning (TCFL).
The Minister also made special mention to the 25 who recently received their caps from the National University of Science and Technology (NUST) for the BTech Telecomms Engineering degree.
“Additionally, to all the 19 prize winners, I say well done to you and may you continue shining going forth.
“I am positive that our country will benefit from your skills which are needed now more than ever. Zimbabwe is your home and it needs you.
“Go out and shine! Explore! Innovate! Build products! Provide solutions! Devise home-grown solutions for Zimbabwe’s problems.
“The graduation was profound as it represents another key pillar to the successful implementation of NDS1 which is Human Skills Development.
“Certainly, the thrust of achieving a modern economy requires that tertiary institutions churn out graduates with the capacity and the requisite skill set to be able to achieve this mandate,” Dr Muswere said.
“In this regard, the Government’s quest to have a functional digital economy has therefore become more urgent and needs to be supported by relevant skills to design, install, maintain and support the digital infrastructure, devices as well as the software.
“To this end, the work being done by TelOne Centre for Learning is fully acknowledged by the ICT Ministry as it supports this mandate that has been clearly cut out for the ministry to oversee through the deployment and growth of ICTs in Zimbabwe.”
Mrs Chipo Mutasa, the TelOne Managing Director thanked Huawei Technologies Zimbabwe Private Limited for the donation of computer networking equipment and a smart screen to the TelOne Centre For Learning.
As per tradition, the following best graduating students have been awarded the TelOne Managing Director’s prize of immediate Employment: Chigwende Tatenda, Kayenie Tinodaishe, Williams Cayleen, and Chari Kennedy.
