The partnership will extend IT training to a
broad range of learners, from high schoolers to workers who want to
move into IT roles, across the world while helping them secure
employment
MILWAUKEE, Oct. 18,
2022 /PRNewswire/ -- At a time when more than 75% of
IT/Tech employers report being unable to hire the people they
need1, Experis, a global leader in IT
professional resourcing and project services and part of
ManpowerGroup (NYSE: MAN), and Cisco (NASDAQ: CSCO) will work
together to train, re-, and upskill people around the world with
in-demand IT skills and help them use those new skills to secure
employment.
The collaboration between Experis and the Cisco Networking
Academy, which is currently live in the
United States and Mexico
with plans to expand to additional markets in future phases, will
focus on learning paths where the demand for skilled workers is far
outpacing supply including: IT Pathways, Cybersecurity, Networking,
Programming and Data, and aims to place more than 1,000 people in
new IT roles in the first year. Once learners complete one or more
courses, they log in to the Experis MITEY (ManpowerGroup Integrated
Talent Engine) Matcher, a powerful AI job platform that enables
them to create a profile and explore and apply for open IT jobs. By
sharing their skills, they create a "skills fingerprint" that can
be used to visualize fit for open roles while enabling Talent
Agents with robust learner insights.
"The pandemic forced every company to become a digital company,
and there are simply not enough people with the right skill set to
go around," says ManpowerGroup Latin America President Mónica
Flores Barragán. "Together, with Cisco's best-in-class Networking
Academy, Experis will be able to expand on our mission to connect
talent with re- and upskilling, jobs, and career pathways to
support technology transformation and unleash their potential.
We're excited to give more people the opportunity to find
meaningful, sustainable employment while equipping them with highly
sought-after tech skills."
With growing talent shortages, organizations need to look for
talent in non-traditional places. Together, Experis and the
Networking Academy are creating a sustainable talent ecosystem by
welcoming a diverse population of individuals and providing them
with opportunities for perpetual learning, nurturing, and
growth.
"Talent is equally distributed, but opportunity is not. At Cisco
Networking Academy, we provide a pathway to support underserved and
underrepresented people so they can gain technical skills to earn
meaningful work opportunities," says Laura
Quintana, Vice President and General Manager, Cisco
Networking Academy says. "We know education and technology provides
opportunities and transforms lives. Equally important, we believe a
diverse workforce is vital to power an inclusive digital economy.
Our partnership with Experis amplifies our efforts and connects
newly skilled learners to in-demand and well-paying jobs."
Every year, the Cisco Networking Academy program teaches
millions of students worldwide the skills they need to build,
design, secure, and maintain networks—improving their career
prospects while filling the global demand for technology and
cybersecurity professionals. More than 17.5 million learners have
participated in Cisco Networking Academy over the past 25
years.
