Avaya and The National Telecommunications Institute of Egypt recently signed a partnership agreement, whereby Avaya and NTI will work together to provide training programs to enhance the skill sets of young Egyptian graduates, engineers in the private sectors, and government employees, with the knowledge and use of Avaya’s technology in Egypt, empowered by NTI training capabilities.
The National Telecommunications Institute of Egypt – an affiliation of the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology (MCIT) is a center of excellence in training and capacity-building, R&D and consultancy in telecommunications and networks. The training facility will be powered by Avaya’s communications systems and solutions.
Prof. Dr. Ahmed El Sherbini, Director of NTI and Deputy Minister of Communications and Information Technology for International Cooperation, said: “This relation is in accordance with and in support of the Ministry of Communication and Information Technology’s plan of continued expansion and modernization of the national telecommunication infrastructure, by training of graduates, engineers and government employees on state-of-the-art telecommunications technology through NTI. In furtherance of this plan NTI plans to create an Avaya authorized training centre.”
“This association strengthens our relationship with the NTI, and is significant for Avaya in Egypt and the region,” said Hossam Amer, Territory Manager, Egypt & North Africa, Avaya. “It reiterates our commitment to and investment in the country, and boosts our efforts to provide enhanced training programs for its professional human resources. This partnership along with NTI’s cooperation will ensure a greater number of Avaya-trained engineers in the market, increasing Avaya’s outreach to organizations across Egypt and the region. In the near future, we plan to utilize this center to provide training for more engineers and graduates from other countries in the region.”
Trainers from NTI will be trained by Avaya’s experts on its systems, and will in turn impart training to fresh graduates and engineers. The NTI aims to churn out a large number of Avaya-trained engineers by the end of 2010. The centre will be ready to take in admissions by the end of April 2010.
