Cisco Pathways Work Experience – February 2024

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.

Please note, the deadline for the applications is Thursday 04 January.

How to apply:

Apply for hybrid programme: Hybrid in Bedfont Lakes, West London office or Didsbury near Manchester office (2 days in office & 3 days virtual)

Apply for virtual programme – Fully Virtual

Please be careful and make sure you apply for the programme you want to attend. If you intend to attend the hybrid programme you should research where the offices are and make sure that you can get there.

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.
