University of Engineering and Technology (UET) Peshawar and CISCO have started the refresher training of CISCO trained instructors from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa under the umbrella of "CISCO Road Show 2019", here on Thursday.
Through CISCO Support Academy established at UET Peshawar in 2017, the purpose of training is to update the CISCO trained instructors on the latest technological developments in the fields of networking, cyber security, programming and CCNA etc.
Mohammad Jinini, Cisco CSR consultant for Middle East, said, "CISCO under its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has been leading trainings across the world." He said, the role of education institutions becomes central to this programme in order to prepare youth for learning the right skills from certified trainers and be prepared for the rapidly changing the future digital world.
So far, CISCO has established 10,000 academics globally where students are learning the basics of ICT to advanced level skills. "So far 1.5 million students have got the trainings globally, this number is quite low in Pakistan" he said.
CISCO established 40 academies in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa in 2017 where more than 5000 students have been trained, he added. He urged the need to increase the number, especially female participation in such fields as they would be able to find jobs easily related to ICT's and this training would not only enable them to avail a wide range of opportunities in the fields of education, communication & Information technology but public service and heath care services.
