The Cisco Networking Academy program trains high school and college students to design, build, and maintain computer networks. Cisco's turnkey program provides a multimedia curriculum, lab equipment, teacher training and other teacher tools, membership in a virtual web community of academies, and technical support to participating schools.
Schools provide a teacher, classroom, an Internet connection, and other equipment, including PCs.
Although it was introduced less than a year ago, the program is now in almost all 50 states and almost 1,000 schools across the country.
