Network plan

Cisco plans to train 400,000 networking professionals in the Asia-Pacific region to help meet the demand for skilled workers in a knowledge-based economy. This initiative is part of their Networking Academy program.

Cisco will offer free online webinars focusing on the Internet of Everything as part of their Networking Academy to train networking professionals.

According to research company IDC, the Asia-Pacific region will need an additional 400,000 networking professionals to compete in a knowledge-based economy, as part of the 2 million technology professionals required over the next 10 years.

The Internet of Everything refers to the networked connection of people, processes, data, and things. It is important because it enhances the ability to gather and analyze data, leading to more informed decision-making and improved efficiency.

The research on the demand for technology professionals, including networking professionals, in the Asia-Pacific region was conducted by IDC, a global market intelligence firm.

Cisco's Networking Academy plays a crucial role by providing the platform for free online webinars and training resources to equip networking professionals with the necessary skills for the evolving technology landscape.

Networking professionals represent one-fifth of the additional 2 million technology professionals needed in the Asia-Pacific region over the next 10 years, highlighting their significant role in the technology sector.

Free online webinars offer aspiring networking professionals accessible and flexible learning opportunities to gain essential skills and knowledge in the field, without the barrier of cost.
