Digital Divide Best Practices

Define Goals

What is your Networking Academy goal for your students? Successful Networking Academies agree that it is important to have a goal and even more important to clearly communicate the goal to the students.
"We have three goals for our students: training completion, certification and employment. Employment is the main goal. They hear that goal from me from day one."

Ken Fletcher

"Our program timeline does not put the CCNA exam at the end. There are three weeks of job search after they take the CCNA exam. Their goal is a job. When they give us their employment information, we give them their certificates of completion."

Acte Maldonado, Dean
Borough of Manhattan Community College
New York, NY
Some Networking Academies use multiple goals to measure success: training completion, certification, employment, and college.
"Our first group had 14 students complete the training. None took the CCNA exam, ten went to college and four are employed. We consider those successful outcomes. Don't you?"
