Digitization & Education: NetAcad & SkillsForAll

Cisco Networking Academy: CyberSecurity Pathway

Everyone experiences the impact of digital technologies in our economy and society. Digitization has an impact on economic growth, reducing unemployment, improving quality of life, and boosting citizens' access to public services. The demand for IT professionals and employees with basic digital skills to support digitization is huge: currently there are over 750K open ICT jobs in Europe. This gap is expected to lead to 1.7 million unfilled ICT vacancies in 2025. 

Networking Academy Program
The Cisco Networking Academy Program has been around for 24 years to bridge this gap. Three million students globally last schoolyear were enrolled in Cisco NetAcad courses, more than 15 million students since inception. It is the mission of Cisco Networking Academy to enable the IT-workforce of the future to transition to the labor market, thereby bridging the gap experienced in our labor markets.

Skills For All
A new platform, SkillsforAll.com has been launched. This platform brings free, mobile friendly, and gamified courses for students on Cyber Security, Networking, Programmability, IoT, Digitization, Packet Tracer, and Python.

This includes for example a renewed and innovative Cybersecurity Pathway Evolution:

For students to achieve the following Cisco-recognized and Industrial grade certification for instance this Cybersecurity Pathway:

Benelux Academy Day - Cisco Amsterdam - 17 May 17

   

At the Academy Day organized in collaboration with Cisco Amsterdam we were able to welcome more than 80 delegates from education to learn about new developments in the ICT domain and about new online curricula. The Academy Day is becoming a prime networking event for innovation in education. An interesting evolution is that there is a lot of support from the IT sector with offerings from Cisco, Oracle, CompTIA, LPI, NDG, Suse and FastLane.

Highlights

• Dive into Country Digitization & Internet of Things projects in the Netherlands
• Overview of the 33 courses in the Networking Academy Curriculum
• Practical Workshop on Internet of Things
• Simulations with Packet Tracer v7 
• Interactive session about innovation competences and active learning with Hackathons and Packathons

Verkenningsdag ICT Basisvaardigheden - Brussel - 27/01/2017

• Deelnemers: uit Vlaanderen, Brussel, Wallonië en Nederland
• Onderwijsniveaus: secundair, volwassenen, hoger
• Focusvraag: Welke vaardigeheden zijn nodig voor de digitale economie?

Vaststellingen

• Digitale vaardigheden worden voor een deel bepaald door het afnemende werkveld
• Competenties kunnen aangetoond door objectieve examens: certificering
• Er is nood aan opleiding van niet-ICT docenten (train the trainer)
• Ook in Wallonië is er aandacht voor excellentie en samenwerking met het werkveld
• Het zou goed zijn indien in het secundair onderwijs meer wordt gewerkt rond ICT in brede zin (dus ruimer dan de Office-paketten), want onbekend is onbemind.

Digitale Vaardigheden

+ Algemene begripsvorming + Gebruik mobiele ICT middelen + Tekstverwerking + Internet
+ E-mailtoepassingen en digitale agenda + Social Media + Security awareness/privacy + Documentmanagement
+ Spreadsheet + Gegevensverwerking + Kennis van ICT, inclusief besturing + Arbo-zaken
+ Presentatiepakketten

Er wordt een onderscheid tussen basis en gevorderde competenties. Basis is voor elke zittende werknemer nodig.
