Our 21st century economy runs on digital networks. Organizations of all kinds depend on a workforce educated to design, build and operate these networks. Analysts expect the information and communications technology (ICT) sector to generate an increasing number of high-skill, in-demand jobs across a broad spectrum of industries. By 2015, it is expected that 90% of jobs will require technology skills and almost all jobs will be ICT-enabled.
The Cisco Western Academy Support and Training Center (WASTC) announced it will host the Pathways to Success in ICT at Cal Poly Pomona on June 16-20, 2014. A number of sponsors have collaborated to reduce the conference costs to participants.
