Teaching technology works

One of the many ways technology works is when companies reach out to young minds. One of these tech companies is Cisco... and their program, Cisco Networking Academy.



Today, Cisco Systems, Inc., based in San Jose, California, has more than 60,000 employees and is one of the world’s leading technology company.

It’s range of business solutions include such brand names like Cisco, Linksys, WebEx, IronPort, and Scientific Atlanta.

How did the company get its name? It was derived from a famous city which Chief and I visited last year. Yup, San Francisco.

The company was founded in 1984 by Len Bosack and Sandy Lerner, a married couple. Both worked in computer operations staff at Stanford University and was later joined by Richard Troiano.

Cisco was the first company to successfully sell routers supporting multiple network protocols. The company became public in 1990.

Today, thousands of young minds benefits from online courses, interactive tools, and lab activities through the Cisco Learning Academy. Many hope to become certifications from Cisco, which jumpstarts their career here and abroad in various ICT positions in virtually every type of industry.

This program is celebrating the beginning of its 10th year of success. You can visit this website https://www.academynetspace.com/
