Refreshed Curriculum Will Emphasize Building the Skills Needed (Yes, AI Included) to Enter the Industry Confidently and Find Success

APEX, N.C., June 16, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Some of these stats may seem familiar because they’re cited often, but let’s set the scene appropriately:

514,359 cybersecurity job openings were posted in the United States last year. Roughly 1/4 of those roles has no qualified candidate to fill the positionIn 2026, 90% of organizations will be negatively impacted by the IT skills shortage. (IDC)93% of tech leaders say their teams lack the staff and skill sets to deliver on their priority initiatives in 2026Only 35% of Americans now say a college education is “very important,” down from 53% in 2019 and 75% in 2010 (Gallup)

“We believe when you support the person as much as the professional, you create students who don’t just survive the future of technology, but actively shape it,” said Amy Onuska, CEO of MyComputerCareer.

In short, skills for learners of every age from every background are more critical than ever in the IT industry, and MyComputerCareer (MyCC) is once again innovating to meet today’s learners and the organizations looking to hire them.

Following a lengthy review, the MyCC leadership team determined it was time for a refresh to hyper-focus on developing a skilled student who is able to think critically and autonomously as they work to enter a competitive industry requiring lifelong learning. The specifics? The school’s Information Technology Security & Administration (ITSA) program will feature:

Four core certifications: CompTIA Sec+, CompTIA Net+, Microsoft AI 901 (AI fundamentals) and Microsoft AZ 104 (Cloud Administration)AI concepts and practice woven throughout every courseThe addition of a MyCC intro course providing “tech essentials”Continued emphasis on student support systems like mentors and tutoring to ensure successContinued focus on soft skills through the school’s Pathways programA digital portfolio for every student to highlight skills in, and out of, the classroom

The refreshed ITSA curriculum will also positively impact the school’s advanced learning platforms, providing the core concepts needed to navigate MyCC’s Cybersecurity Specialist (CSS), Cybersecurity Engineer (CSE), and Associate programs.

“We’ve designed these updates with one major goal in mind, to prepare students to enter the IT industry of 2026 and beyond with the skills and confidence needed for success,” said Darlene Cernoch, VP of Education at MyComputerCareer. “This is a very deliberate and strategic shift from not only providing the tools and support for learners to gain knowledge of technology and how it works, but to becoming an independent thinker who is curious and ready for the next challenge as a successful contributor in the IT industry.”

Today’s world of work is creating two groups: those who utilize AI and create the future, and those who get left behind. Responding to this growing demand, MyComputerCareer is incorporating AI throughout every course. “We have one certification course for AI in Microsoft’s AI-901, and students will leverage AI skills learned in every class. That might include resume development, building a bot that may act as a tutor, developing a study guide, and more,” Cernoch said. She also noted MyCC isn’t teaching to a specific AI or LLM to purposely broaden knowledge of the tech.

Additional updates to the learning platform worth highlighting. Let’s talk about labs. In IT training, pre-built, simulated labs are fairly common. MyComputerCareer’s refreshed program features a shift to real-time, custom-learning labs and virtual machines to enable students to effectively learn concepts in practical, hands-on scenarios. The digital portfolio learners will build is designed to positively impact their transition to an IT career with a resource highlighting their work and accomplishments. This level of future-focused student support is one of the reasons MyCC learners thrive in the school’s programs and in IT.

“Our updated curriculum moves beyond simple credentialing; it’s about fostering a mindset of lifelong learning,” said Amy Onuska, CEO of MyComputerCareer. “By pairing critical human support with the practical power of AI, we’re not just preparing students for a specific IT role today—we’re equipping them with the confidence and adaptability to navigate an evolving industry for years to come. We believe when you support the person as much as the professional, you create students who don’t just survive the future of technology, but actively shape it.”

MyComputerCareer’s refreshed curriculum will go live in late July and will be immediately available to new students then. You can find additional details on the ITSA program and how to enroll on the school’s website.

Since opening its doors in 2007, MyComputerCareer has equipped more than 32,000 graduates with the skills and resources needed for success, resulting in alumni working for some of the top tech companies across the country. The school welcomes students with no former experience or training in IT, and graduates come from a broad range of backgrounds – from hospitality to retail to stay-at-home parents.

New app partnerships with Life: Period Tracker, Clue, and The Ginger Club signal growing momentum for third-party developers building on Huawei’s wearable platform

LONDON, June 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Huawei announced the continued expansion of its health and fitness app ecosystem on the newly launched HUAWEI WATCH FIT 5 Series, reinforcing its strategy to build an open, partner-driven platform that delivers meaningful everyday value to users. The latest additions include Life: Period Tracker, the globally recognized women’s health app; Clue, the #1 women-led  period and cycle tracker; and The Ginger Club, a running community founded around women’s physiology, bringing advanced cycle tracking, data-driven health insights, and personalized training directly to the wrist.

The applications are available through HUAWEI AppGallery across all models of the HUAWEI WATCH FIT 5 Series. They reflect a broader ambition: to attract best-in-class app developers to Huawei’s wearable ecosystem and give them the platform, data integrations, and user reach to build health experiences that genuinely improve daily life.

A Platform Built Around Women’s Health

With women’s health being a clear strategic priority, Huawei’s ecosystem team has worked closely with partners to ensure the HUAWEI WATCH FIT 5 Series goes beyond step counting. Life: Period Tracker allows users to log cycle data, symptoms, mood, and flow level directly from the watch, discreetly and without reaching for a phone.

For users seeking deeper analysis, Clue’s integration with the Huawei Health app brings sleep data and body temperature readings from the watch into cycle analysis, supporting more personalized and data-driven health insights. Available with a Clue Plus subscription, the integration allows users to make the most of the data their watch already captures.  

From Wrist Data to Intelligent Coaching

The Ginger Club, founded by renowned running coach Candela Pérez, takes the ecosystem’s women’s health focus into athletic performance. With a Ginger Club subscription, training plans, from 5K to marathon, are designed around menstrual cycle phases. In addition, through seamless syncing with the HUAWEI WATCH FIT 5 Series, the app draws on real-time pace, heart rate, and recovery data to guide users on when to push and when to rest, enabling the watch to become a genuine coaching companion.

These partnerships illustrate the growing appeal of Huawei’s wearable platform: lightweight, all-day wear design enables higher data continuity and more engaged users, delivering a compelling proposition for developers looking to reach people in the real moments of their lives.

An Open Ecosystem Invitation

To celebrate the launch, new HUAWEI WATCH FIT 5 Series buyers will receive an exclusive three-month premium subscription, valued at €15, to Life: Period Tracker at no cost, and a 3-month free trial to Clue Plus, as part of Huawei’s commitment to making its ecosystem genuinely rewarding from day one.

For developers and health brands, the path to collaboration is open: whether through Health Kit integration or native app development for HUAWEI AppGallery, Huawei provides the tools, APIs, and go-to-market support to bring compelling wearable experiences to market. On top of this, the HUAWEI WATCH FIT 5 Series also supports contactless payments with Curve Pay, as well as access to Huawei MultiPass, including Huawei Health+ membership and exclusive benefits from popular sports, fitness, and lifestyle apps such as komoot, Naviki, URUNN and FIIT.

Developers and health brands interested in building for Huawei’s wearable platform are encouraged to explore partnership opportunities through the Huawei Developer Portal at https://developer.huawei.com/consumer/en/.

HDC 2026 Global Eco Summit: Huawei Ecosystem Fuels Partners’ Growth in China and Cross-Border Success

Published

By

DONGGUAN, China, June 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — At the HDC 2026 Global Eco Summit, Huawei convened global ecosystem partners, brands, and developers to explore how its innovative technologies are reshaping digital interaction in an increasingly interconnected, multi-device world. Spanning luxury retail, tourism, financial services, and digital platforms, the summit highlighted how enterprises are leveraging Huawei’s ecosystem to drive innovation and business growth, with key partners sharing real-world collaboration cases and practical insights.

China Market Mastery: AI-Powered Audience Insights and Story-Driven Strategies for Scalable Brand Growth

Huawei’s ecosystem has established itself as a powerful platform enabling brands to navigate the China market with precision and creativity. Leveraging Petal Ads’ advanced AI capabilities and rich consumer insights, brands access multi-dimensional audience portraits, real-time behavioral signals, and omnichannel measurement tools. The ecosystem also provides access to affluent consumer segments, including over 22 million yearly outbound travelers — 76% of whom belong to middle-to-high consumption groups with strong interest in luxury goods, technology, and premium lifestyles.

A global leading luxury house demonstrated how these capabilities translate into meaningful China growth. To connect with high-net-worth consumers, the brand partnered with Huawei to leverage Petal Ads’ precision targeting, reaching premium audiences including foldable device users with immersive splash screen visuals optimized for Huawei devices. The campaigns generated tens of millions of impressions and strong click-through rates. The partnership has since expanded into experiential collaborations and in-store initiatives, blending the brand’s heritage with Huawei’s intelligent technology.

A Southeast Asian national tourism board showed how China-market strategy becomes more effective when media, content, devices, and offline experiences are connected. This collaboration leveraged Petal Ads, Huawei Wearables, SkyTone, and offline retail experiences to create a 360-degree immersive travel journey for Chinese consumers — including customized watch faces featuring destination mascots and KOL collaborations. The campaign generated hundreds of millions of exposures, significantly lifted brand awareness, and solidified the destination as a top choice for Chinese outbound travelers.

Expanding Global Horizons: Overseas Partners Strengthen Huawei’s Global Ecosystem

As cross-border travel and consumption grow, overseas partners are increasingly engaging with Huawei’s ecosystem to deliver seamless, locally relevant experiences for users abroad, embedding essential services such as ticketing, payments, and connectivity directly into users’ daily digital lives.

A leading Hong Kong ticketing platform partnered with Huawei to redefine cross-border event and travel experiences for Chinese outbound travelers. Leveraging Huawei’s hybrid architecture, localized support, and Huawei Login capabilities, the platform built a high-performance, cross-device application for concerts, sports events, and travel services across Hong Kong and Asia. Beyond ticketing, the integration spans the full travel journey: users can book tickets, navigate to venues via Petal Maps, and stay connected via SkyTone — all within Huawei’s ecosystem — transforming standalone transactions into continuous, connected travel moments.

BonusFlaş, Garanti BBVA’s digital payment and smart wallet platform and one of Türkiye’s leading digital payment solutions, demonstrated how Huawei’s ecosystem enables seamless and secure transactions. Through this partnership, BonusFlaş enabled NFC-based contactless payments on HUAWEI WATCH 5, HUAWEI WATCH GT 6 series, and other NFC-supported wearables, allowing users to make secure, one-tap payments at millions of POS terminals across Türkiye directly from their wrists. BonusFlaş’s upgraded platform brought together cards, digital payments, exclusive campaigns, and favorite brands in a single, user-friendly interface, expanding its user base and setting a new standard for fintech-wearable collaboration in Türkiye.

Forging a Connected Future Together

The HDC 2026 Global Eco Summit reaffirmed Huawei’s role as an open, collaborative global bridge, connecting brands, developers, and consumers to drive shared growth. As cross-border commerce and travel expand, Huawei stands ready to empower partners with its innovative technologies and expansive ecosystem. Huawei invites all global brands, developers, and ecosystem partners to join together building a fully connected, intelligent world that turns cross-border challenges into opportunities.
