In 2020 VMware teamed up with Howard University to expose students to VMware’s Telecommunications technology and the Telco industry at large. The school, located in Washington, D.C., is one of nearly a hundred historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs) in the United States.
In partnership with Howard’s School of Business Information Systems department, our collective vision is to build the first Telco-focused program at an HBCU. VMware is a leader in this space with technologies like Telco Cloud Automation and Telco Cloud Platform. Over the past three years, we have worked with many teams across the company to begin the foundational work for the program’s funding. We have not achieved that goal yet; that work is still ongoing! However, there is progress to celebrate.
