The Cisco outreach programs for kindergarten through 12th grade (K-12) and higher education work with companies across industries, various organizations, and government agencies. The programs disseminate and advocate a worldwide, multiyear plan to increase participation of underrepresented groups in the computer, engineering, math, and science fields.

Cisco recognizes the investment and corporate culture necessary to compete for the limited labor pools in the technology industry. The company is committed to recruiting and cultivating a comprehensive talent group of females and underrepresented minorities. By influencing young people ages 8-20 globally, the following Cisco groups have helped to increase the number of women and minorities who choose technical careers:

  • Worldwide Diversity and Inclusion
  • Global Women's Action Networks
  • Networking Academy
  • Cisco Learning Institute
  • Employee groups
  • Employee volunteers
