History of the Networking Academy program

• Created as a solution for schools installing networks

Problem: Schools lacked financial and human resources to manage networks

Solution: Cisco develops curriculum to train teachers, staff, and students to wire and maintain networks in their schools

• August 1997: Cisco Networking Academy Program launched in the United States with

64 Academies in 7 states

“ I think that women serve an important role in sharing IT knowledge and empowerment. Women are natural-born ‘broadcasters’; they are more inclined to share their experiences with others. Going through the Academy curriculum has been a life-changing experience and a real eye-opener to what can be achieved with Internet technologies, which I am really anxious to share with others for the development of communications in China.”
