coming up every now and then with newest applications and tools.
“But the old-timers working
with old technologies are reluctant to adopt the new trends”, Farrukh Nizami,
an IT expert, regretted while addressing
a seminar on
Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) held
at the Sir Syed University of Engineering &
Technology, (SSUET), Karachi.
Farrukh pointed out that Internetworking has grown fast during the last few decades to
maintain the basic user requirements with major purpose being to connect
several related networks jointly so that each user could share the information
same moment.
He said that Internetworking
involves connecting networks which use different protocols and how
different nodes in a
network are connected to each other and how they communicate.
“There is no scarcity of jobs
in the market for networking/IT professionals,” he stated adding that still the
capable candidates were not available in the field.
He explained that Cisco
Networking Academy is a global education programme which teaches students how
to design, build, troubleshoot, and secure computer networks for increased
access to career and economic opportunities in communities around the world.
The Networking Academy,
Farrukh explained, provides online courses, interactive tools, and hands-on
learning activities to help individuals prepare for ICT while and networking
career is a requirement now-a-days virtually in every type of industry.
