Announcing Cisco Networking Academy's Q3 Be the Bridge Award Winners

By: 3BL Media

DESCRIPTION:

After several years of events that have changed the world, it’s easy to overlook the good news. News such as an additional 800 million people connecting to the internet around the globe between 2019 and 2021, bringing new opportunities, particularly in developing countries.

And while figures for developed countries such as the United States­ appear static, (internet usage only increased by one percent of the population between 2016 and 2021), they are anything but: Internet traffic per capita more than doubled in the US during that time.

Everywhere across the globe the talent to build and maintain networks to carry this traffic is in demand, and Cisco Networking Academy is at the forefront of training that talent.

Our partners are integral to delivering this training, and Cisco Networking Academy Be the Bridge Awards celebrate the efforts of partners who have elevated their dedication to student success.

I’m thrilled to announce the partners who are deserving recipients of Be the Bridge Awards for this Cisco financial quarter (Q3) of financial year 2022 (FY22).

I’d like to thank these amazing partners for their extraordinary work, and trust that this recognition encourages more such inspiring efforts.
