Wijziging Cisco NetAcad Team Benelux

Het Cisco Benelux team ondergaat een wijziging. Arie van Duijn heeft de leeftijd bereikt om Cisco deze zomer te verlaten.

Arie is een veteraan in het Networking Academy Programma. Hij heeft het Benelux programma voor bijna 17 jaar gemanaged. Arie kan trots zijn op wat hij met het programma heeft bereikt. Hij heeft de basis gecreeerd en heeft het programma jaarlijks uitgebouwd met in totaal een deelname van ca. 90.000 studenten sinds de start van het programma. Zijn passie voor het programma en zijn ‘hands on’ attitude heeft een positief effect gehad op de carrieres van vele studenten. Daarbij is Arie de architect van het Digitale Versnellings Programma voor NetAcad in Nederland.

Wij danken Arie zeer voor zijn waardevolle bijdrage en wensen hem in dit nieuwe hoofdstuk alle geluk toe!

Het Cisco-team bestaat nu uit Rik Bleeker, verantwoordelijk voor Networking Academy Program in Benelux en Israel. De werving en selectie voor een nieuwe Program Manager is gestart. Interesse? https://www.linkedin.com/jobs/view/263026404/

U kunt Rik Bleeker ontmoeten op het Benelux event. Al ingeschreven?

The world increasingly runs on digital networks. Organizations of all kinds depend on a workforce educated to design, build and operate these networks.

The current digital revolution is projected to connect 50 billion things to the internet by 2020. Analysts expect the Information and Communications Technology (ICT) sector to generate an increasing number of high-skill, in-demand jobs across a broad spectrum of industries. 

There aren’t enough people with the expertise to fill these positions. Your students are ready to take up the challenge. All they need is the opportunity, and you can provide that by adding Cisco Networking Academy courses to your education program.

For more information about the education programmes contact Yvan Rooseleer <[email protected]>.

Arie van Duijn Retiring After 18 Years

 
 
 

With his retirement coming up, we thank Arie for his authentic interest in technology education and for being who he was. Fortunately, Arie has been more than happy during 90% of his time at Networking Academy.

Dear friends and colleagues,

After almost 18 years of Netacad experience with 14 of them at Cisco as the Program manager for the Benelux it's time to go.

The first 17 years were an inspiring, exiting, satisfying and fun ride and I really thank all of you that were part of that and made it happen.

I was looking forward to work on the implementation of the Dutch CDA program for the years to come but despite my commit to Karsten to stay until the finalization of the CDA program, I decided to come back to this promise due to developments in the Dutch setup this last year.

So I will end this journey here and now and go for a (part-time) early retirement and some exiting projects outside of Cisco, like improving my golf handicap, travel through Europe in our camper, enjoying my grand daughter, promoting fiber technology in education and reactivate my activities in 3rd world IT projects.

I wish you all a very fruitful continuation of your journey and we might meet again.

Arie van Duijn,

Innovation competences through Hackathons

Yvan Rooseleer (BiASC) was involved in Workshop 1.2 Innovation Competences and presented an initiative launched in cooperation with companies, namely the use of Hackathons to foster innovation competences and to teach hard and soft skills which are needed for the labor force. The Hackathon also serves as an example of regional cooperation amongst students and how to get them involved in social innovation challenges.

WORKSHOP 1.2: Innovation Competencies
Today we live in a world of continuous change. This is visible in societal challenges, such as climate change, energy resources, increased rarity of certain materials and, of course, demographic change. "Innovation competencies" are essential for graduates and professionals to be successful in this changing and evolving environment. This session will present and discuss innovation competencies, what they are, how they can be developed and how they can be assessed and recognised. The workshop will explore these questions in the context of higher education, as well as that of professional development.

Mr Harri Lappalainen, Manager, Senior Advisor, Turku University of Applied Sciences
Mr Christoph Auch, Professional Education Lead Europe, Climate KIC
