In fact, the qualities that define an entrepreneur such as risk taking, creativity, perseverance, and passion are foundational to the way we operate and pursue opportunities to serve our customers and communities.

They developed the multiprotocol router, and that\u2019s how Cisco was born!<\/p>\n Their entrepreneurial spirit lives on in a company that strives to solve business challenges for our customers today. Not only that, but Cisco also helps businesses large and small to seize the opportunities of tomorrow.<\/p>\n For more than 25 years, Cisco Networking Academy has trained people to build and maintain networks utilizing the latest technology. But it has done so much more than that. As part of the process, learners are encouraged to work collaboratively, and the program fosters a mindset of identifying and solving problems.<\/p>\n These are core entrepreneurial skills. Numerous Networking Academy learners have gone on to use those skills, not only in networking, but in business too.<\/p>\n Antonius<\/a>, from Indonesia, had never encountered a computer until a tsunami brought rescue workers to his hometown, where he saw the value\u2014and opportunity\u2014in tech. He went on to study at Networking Academy and earn CyberOps Associate<\/a> certification. In one of his first jobs after studying, Antonius used his problem-solving skills to conclude that the network of the large organization where he worked had been hacked, and that rebuilding the system from scratch was the best solution.<\/p>\n Niels<\/a>, in Belgium, took a different path. After working in kitchens from a very young age, Neils decided to embark on Networking Academy study. \u201cI have been in love with tweaking computers all my life,\u201d\u00a0he says. While he found the study challenging at times, with support from the Networking Academy community, he went on to attain CCNA<\/a> certification.
