Curious about careers in technology? Join this week long virtual work experience opportunity from Cisco Systems.
About the virtual work experience
Curious about a career in technology? Looking for work experience that’s fun, exciting and where you can get stuck in? Wanted to come to Cisco for work experience but thought you couldn’t attend as you don’t live near enough to our Bedfont and Reading offices? No problem Cisco’s Pathway To You Future work experience is now hybrid with two days in the office for those who live close enough and fully virtual for those who don’t!
You don’t have to be tech-savvy to take part; we’re open to everyone. We’ve got a mix of live sessions along with modules you can do at your own pace. You can select from both technical and non-technical modules and hear from people talking about the variety of roles in the technology industry. Hear from people who do these jobs every day to see first-hand what it’s like to work for Cisco and inspire your choices for a career in IT.
Open to students in Year 11 & 12, our work experience programme will be running 2 days in our Bedfont Lakes, Feltham office for those who can join us there or fully online. Spend a week learning all about Cisco and what happens in the different business areas. Improve your employability skills with one to one speed interviews, hear from different parts of the business in a sort of virtual careers fair, work virtually in a team and present your ideas back to our Dragons. Plus, you’ll get to learn loads through the targeted activities that link to your chosen workstream.
Workshop highlights include:
- An introduction to the IT industry and Cisco
- Presentations from Cisco employees ranging from apprentices to senior execs
- Learn about the wide variety of IT roles
