The Village School, a Nord Anglia Education (NAE) international
school, is pleased to announce its unique partnership with Cisco
(NASDAQ: CSCO), the worldwide technology leader that has been
making the Internet work since 1984. This partnership further
enhances Village’s internship program that provides students with
hands-on opportunities throughout the school year to learn and
explore different career paths, even if they are unsure of what
they want to pursue.
With Cisco, Village students will explore and experience
rewarding and in-demand careers in computer science, information
technology and cybersecurity. Specifically, students will observe
the connections between what is being taught in the classroom and
what is happening in the real world through a multi-faceted
approach that includes internships, mentorship and career talks,
and onsite visits to Cisco’s Houston and Dallas offices for
hands-on experience.
Village’s internship program is continuing to expand to
incorporate a range of exclusive opportunities for its students at
local university, industry, and public-sector entities. To assist
with the program’s growth, Village recently hired a new Internship
Coordinator, TeKedra Pierre, an educator with over 13 years of
experience. “Today, students don’t always see their exact job
because many of them don’t exist yet. Our goal with this
partnership is to introduce students to IT-focused careers, build
their interest and strengthen their skills as early as possible,”
said TeKedra Pierre.
“Our mission is to promote the company’s Science, Technology
Engineering and Mathematics initiative by exposing incoming junior
and senior high school top talented STEM focused students to
Cisco’s culture and careers,” said Lymari Ames, Cisco, Internship
Program Manager. “We believe this program will help to provide a
consistent programmatic way to engage high school students into
STEM related careers so that Cisco builds its talent pipeline.”
