EWeek‘s Channel Insider is reporting that Cisco is building an initiative to help partners source certified Cisco engineers.
“Potential areas of focus include a talent partner portal and providing partners with access to the graduates of Cisco Network Academy,” according to the story.
The story suggests that the initiative would help address the problem of poaching between partners. “For us the important thing is talent attraction through the Cisco Network Academy and bringing more people into the industry,” Pat Scheckel, senior director of products and solutions at Berbee, is quoted as saying.
