Cisco Pathways Work Experience – February 2024 Application Invitation |
|
Hello, I hope you are well, The applications for our February Pathways Work Experience programme for Years 11 & 12 are now open. Please would you share the invitation to apply with your year 11 & 12 students? We have three options to attend. For students who live close enough to travel to our offices in West London or Manchester there is an option of a hybrid week with the Monday and Friday in the office at Bedfont Lakes, Feltham or Didsbury, Manchester. The third option is fully virtual option. We’ve decided on this approach to ensure we can continue to include students from right across the UK and Ireland. This programme is for Years 11 & 12 (or equivalent) and runs 12-16 February 2024. This is a weeklong programme with the aim of showing students the range of jobs within a global IT company. Cisco is not a one size fits all organisation and we welcome applications from any year 11 & 12 students from anywhere in the UK & Ireland. We will also be developing presentation, teamwork and employability skills, and building confidence through online modules and interactive sessions. The programme doesn’t require students to choose between technical or business as in addition to the mandatory parts of the programme they will be allowed to select the sessions that are of interest to them.
Here is the information your students need to apply for the February Pathways hybrid & virtual work experience. Please send your students the message below:

How to apply:
Please be careful and make sure you apply for the programme you want to attend.

Last year we had over 200 applications so may close early this year if we exceed that number. So please apply early and don’t leave it to the last minute. The programme will provide opportunities to learn about Cisco and the IT industry. You’ll hear from technical teams and business teams. There’ll be a challenge that you work on as a group and then present to our Cisco judges and we’ll be learning about and practising employability skills such as interviewing and CVs. Plus learn about routes into Cisco straight from school via the apprenticeships, as an intern once at university or as a graduate after university. This is a full five days of learning opportunities. You will need a device, preferably with a camera, to join the virtual meetings. A laptop is best, with a tablet and then a phone in the order of how to get the best experience.
Kind regards Cisco & Connectr Team |
