Last week, I had the pleasure of recognizing the accomplishments of our Learning Partner community and celebrating the 2023 Cisco Learning Partner Award winners.
Our Cisco Learning Partners are instrumental in upskilling individuals and teams at scale to meet our customers where they are. Each year, they deliver skills to our joint customers that close the IT skills gap, propel careers, and upskill enterprise teams to drive business outcomes.
As an example, customers are continuing to consume cloud services, and to protect their users and data, their networks are becoming more complex. I am excited to see our Learning Partners embrace our new Multicloud Certifications in Cloud Connectivity and Cloud Security, which ensure individuals have proven, certified skills to secure, connect, and observe the network.
Our entire Learning Partner community deserves recognition for the exceptional results they have achieved. Through our relationships, we have built a foundation for the learning business to thrive and grow in the future.Special congratulations go to this year’s winners. These Learning Partners have attained remarkable business outcomes and showcased exceptional commitment to customers and Cisco during 2023. The 11 winners signify excellence in performance, innovation, business growth, and customer success.
