In 2024, Ethiopian Technical University (ETU) launched a VR internship program with Ethio Telecom, as reported by Addis Standard<\/em>. Students use VR to simulate network installations, gaining skills that match industry demands. \u201cThey\u2019re solving real problems before they even graduate,\u201d said Solomon Getachew, an ETU instructor. Separately, Adama Science and Technology University partnered with the ICT Park in Addis Ababa to roll out AR-based manufacturing simulations, preparing students for Ethiopia\u2019s growing industrial sector.<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The country\u2019s tech boom fuels this momentum. The 2024 5G rollout in cities like Addis Ababa and Mekelle, covered by Bloomberg<\/em>, signals Ethiopia\u2019s digital ascent, with UAS at the forefront. Keeping curricula current remains a challenge, but collaborations\u2014like the UAS-Ministry of Innovation and Technology pact signed this year\u2014are bridging the gap. VR\/AR are ensuring graduates are future-ready.<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
