According with the Europa Networking’s tradition, March is dedicated to women interested in networking.

The number of women who are networking technicians is not as high as men’s.  We would like women to be more involved in networking.

In March we are running two different projects for women. Besides the IT IN ROSA course, Europa Networking is offering a discount to the Academy’s female students and alumni:

the PROFESSIONAL GIRLS BONUS  for CCNP ISCW course.

This bonus is aimed at encouraging women to pursue their path to specialization with the CCNP courses. CCNP ISCW course is expected to begin just on 8th March!

CCNP qualified technicians are the most sought for professionals by companies: so Europa Networking is willing to encourage girls students in taking Cisco Professional certifications.
