Partnering for Purpose
Help tackle the digital divide by equipping and inspiring underserved communities to upskill and explore a career in tech
An investment in education
We work with 200+ schools, colleges, and universities across the UK & Ireland to support teachers in the delivery of technical qualifications and to help set their students up for success. What we offer:
Off-the-shelf learning resources that are not only linked to global industry standards but also designed with the national curriculum in mind, saving educators time and headspace.
Opportunities for professional development for any teacher or lecturer in the UK & Ireland via free instructor training and access to a global educator community.
Students are set up for success with high-quality, up-to-date, engaging courses and hands-on activities that are proven to boost their employability prospects.
An investment in underserved communities
Through the Cisco Networking Academy, we work with several Cisco Academies that support underrepresented communities in the tech industry. We also run bespoke training programmes to upskill underserved communities. What we offer:
Flexible upskilling opportunities for all learners. Our Skills for All courses are not only free, but also mobile-friendly and self-paced; allowing learners to progress alongside other commitments.
Industry-recognised skills that are designed to prepare learners for the workplace through progressive pathways and hands-on activities.
A global support community that recognises the unique journey of every learner.
