Approximately 75 high school seniors from across the state will be leaving their high schools with something more than their diploma. According to Honolulu CC Instructor Wayne Lewis, the UHCC's Cisco training programs are finally going to witness the fruits of their labor. The Cisco Academies at the UHCC campuses have been training high school teachers in the use and implementation of Cisco Systems networking equipment since the original partnership began two years ago. These teachers, in turn, helped their students learn the ins and outs of Cisco's high-technology computer networking systems.
