Cisco promises AI training for a million Americans
""This effort underscores a collective priority to prepare people of all ages for the AI era. We are proud to stand alongside government and industry leaders in this pledge," said Fran Katsoudas, Cisco's EVP and chief people, policy, and purpose officer."
""Through 'Learn with Cisco', we aim to train one million more people across the US in AI and digital skills over the next four years. This reflects our core belief: every person deserves the opportunity to step confidently into the economy of the future.""
""The fact is undeniable: to stay ahead, the ability to learn is an important skill and a competitive edge for individuals, companies, and countries," said Katsoudas. "Embedding continuous learning into everything builds a workforce ready to adapt, innovate, and lead for lasting impact.""
Cisco will train one million people across the U.S. in AI and digital skills over the next four years through its Learn with Cisco program as part of the Pledge to America's Youth. The program will provide curricula, training, and tools to equip educators and businesses to teach AI. Cisco's Networking Academy has reached over 2.9 million participants in nearly 30 years, with more than ninety percent of completers moving to jobs or further education. The U.S. initiative follows a similar European program offering free training to 1.5 million people in digital awareness, cybersecurity, data science, IoT, and AI.
