About:
Cisco Systems, Inc. is the worldwide leader in networking for the Internet. Today, networks are an essential part of business, education, government and home communications, and Cisco Internet Protocol-based (IP) networking solutions are the foundation of these networks. Cisco hardware, software, and service offerings are used to create Internet solutions that allow individuals, companies, and countries to increase productivity, improve customer satisfaction and strengthen competitive advantage. The Cisco name has become synonymous with the Internet, as well as with the productivity improvements that Internet business solutions provide. At Cisco, our vision is to change the way people work, live, play and learn.
Cisco's culture was founded on the principles of open communication, empowerment, trust, integrity, and giving back to the community, and these same values thrive at Cisco today. The company focuses on three areas of corporate philanthropy: providing basic human needs, access to education, and responsible citizenship. To help foster access to education and professional opportunities worldwide, the company founded the Cisco Networking Academy Program, which trains students to design, build, and maintain computer networks. By combining education and the Internet, Cisco Networking Academies help students acquire the skills needed for IT-related jobs and for higher education in engineering, computer science, and related fields—and ultimately, aid in the development of their countries and their local economies. Since its creation in 1997, over 1.6 Million students have enrolled at more than 10,000 Academies located in high schools, technical schools, colleges, universities, and community-based organizations in more than 163 countries.
