Cisco Networking Academy has reached 28 million learners worldwide, marking the milestone on International Day of Learning. Originally launched in 1997 with 64 institutions across seven U.S. states, the program has expanded its curriculum beyond networking and cybersecurity to include AI, data science, Python, and business communications. AI literacy is now treated as a foundational competency alongside networking skills, with dedicated courses and certification paths like the Cisco AI Business Practitioner and AI Technical Practitioner. The program is free, requires no prerequisites for foundational courses, and is distinguished by its inclusivity and global reach.
