employees,the CompensationDepartment recommends to the Board of Directors that employees be granted stock optionsaccording to their salary grades.The program grants each employee the right to purchase a specified number of shares of thecompanys common stock at a specified price for a period of time.In accordance with the plan,25%of the shares offered vest at the completion of 12 full months of employment,and the balancevests at the rate of l/48th per month over the next 36 months.There are other vesting schedulesand this schedule may not apply to all new hire stock grants for employees who

following anemployees date of hire.Employee Stock Purchase PlanAfter 30 days as an active employee,you are eligible to participate in the Employee StockPurchase Plan.Participants may enroll and elect

reimbursement for mileage)-Miscellaneous Cash Allowance(depending on where you live)Academy overviewIn 1993,Cisco embarked on an initiative to design practical,cost-effective networks for schools.Itquickly became apparent that designing and installing the networks was not enough-the schoolsalso needed some way to maintain the networks after they were up and running.Cisco SeniorConsulting Engineer George Ward developed training for teachers and staff for maintenance ofschool networks.He soon discovered that the personnel lacked the time required to learn thematerial,so he moved to the next population of learners in the school-the students themselves.The success of these student seminars led to requests from participating schools across the countryfor Cisco to develop a curriculum that could be integrated as elective courses taught in a semesterformat.The formalized curriculum and support activities evolved into the Cisco NetworkingAcademy Program.The concept proved to be a powerful draw for students,many of whom initially volunteered forclasses outside normal school hours.Today,thousands of students coast to coast are pioneering aschool-to-work program engineered for a new global economy.The SolutionThrough the Cisco Networking Academy program,high school and college students can learn theinformation needed prepare them for the Cisco Certified Networking Associate exam.Thiscertification positions them for immediate openings in a talent-hungry job market or forengineering-and science-focused college studies.In a nutshell,the Cisco Networking Academy isa complete,four-semester program on the principles and practice of designing,building,andmaintaining networks capable of supporting national and global organizations.Cisco provides course work for a complete range of basic through advanced networking concepts-from pulling cable,through such complex concepts as subnet masking rules and strategies.The program uses Regional Academies as hubs,each of which supports a minimum of ten LocalAcademies.These Regional Academies teach the teachers who oversee programs at the LocalAcademies under their jurisdiction.The Regional Academies funnel input to Cisco on topics suchas individual school performance,curriculum quality and effectiveness,and student progress.The format for the classes reflects the content:interactive lessons stored largely on the classroomsCisco Web server.The Academy design also accommodates diverse learning styles.For those wholearn by reading,text is available.More visual learners can focus on the course materiaFsextensive graphics and QuickTime movies.To promote development of the personal skills thatunderpin successful careers,projects require students not only to resolve technical issues but alsoto successfully address network users*needs.Local Academies receive mentoring and technical support from the Regional Academies and arebacked by SMARTnet?services,a service and support program that provides round-the-clockaccess to assistance from Cisco*s Technical Assistance Center(TAC)and the Cisco ConnectionOnline(CCO)Web site,plus major software and maintenance releases,product documentationupdates,and next-day delivery of replacement parts.Benefits and ResultsThe Cisco Networking Academy Program is in its first full year at schools.But the pilot semesterat one site,Thurgood Marshall Academic High School in San Francisco,provides an indication ofthe potential impact:more than 25 percent of the students involved in the schools program inSpring 1996 secured summer jobs as a direct result of their single-semester experience.And for teachers who have seen the early impact on students and their futures,the Academystands as a model fbr school-to-work programs.Dennis Frezzo,technology instructor at Thurgood Marshall says,In one leap,Cisco has helped ushave the most effective school-to-work program I*ve seen locally,and were proud of that.The energy level of these students is so high,its hard to find the words to describe it,says BarryWilliams,who oversees Regional activities for the Round Valley School District in Springerville,Arizona.nOnce,about half of my students had permission to leave school about 20 minutes early.But not a single one left.I talked topologies and media for 90 minutes without a break.”FAQ

Academies track theequipment inventory of their Local Academies and answer curriculum questions or refer themback to the Cisco Networking Academy team.They also deal directly with the Cisco NetworkingAcademy team.Local Academies are responsible for having trained instructors who teach the curriculum tostudents;these instructors supervise students as they design,build,and maintain their schoofsnetwork.Can a Local Academy exist without a Regional Academy to support it?No.Regional Academies provide many services to Local Academies such that Locals cannot existwithout a supporting Regional.Why do Local Academies have to commit to four semesters of classes?If they dont teach all four semesters,students wont learn all the skills needed to properly supporta TCP/IP Ethernet routed and switched network.They also won*t learn everything they need to beprepared to take the Cisco Certified Networking Associate exam.Cisco wants to avoid offeringincomplete programs.How are the Regional Academy instructors trained?Regional Academy instructors are trained by Cisco.The first semester training is eight days,thesecond semester training session lasts five days,and the third and fourth semesters combined is sixdays.Where is the training for the Regional Academy instructors held?Current training sessions are held in Arizona,Minnesota,North

on to the Local Academies.May I see a sample of the cun iculum?A sample module of semester one as well as an outline of the four semesters of curriculum areavailable on the Web site( Cisco people install new hardware/software for the Academy,free of charge?In the training that Cisco gives,Regional Academies are shown how to set up the equipment thatis part of the next semester curriculum.The instructors are shown everything they need to installfor that upcoming semester.Cisco also provides phone assistance in setting up the lab to RegionalAcademies who have attended training.Regionals in turn provide assistance to their LocalAcademies.May we receive a list of the other pilot schools so we can contact them and see how they havemade use of the materials and with what success?Yes.Contact your local Cisco education account manager.Are there any prerequisites for the Cisco Networking Academy curriculum,either for the studentsor for the Regional or Local Academy instructors?The curriculum assumes no prior knowledge of computers or networks.An eighth grade readingand math proficiency is expected,as well as a desire to learn the curriculum.What is the status of getting the Networking Academy curriculum approved by State EducationOrganizations?Each state has different requirements for curriculum approval.Cisco is not currently engaged inany efforts on its own to gain statewide certification of the curriculum,but we are interested inworking with a champion or champions in each state to help us achieve appropriate approval(s).Are the four courses aimed at being three credits each,and are they sequential in nature;in otherwords,is the first course the prerequisite for the second,which in turn is the prerequisite for thethird,and so on?They are prerequisite based and are sequential.The courses are designed to be taught one hour aday,five days a week,but the setup can be changed to accommodate block class scheduling.Are the courses designed to contain any particular number of students per section?Ciscos only requirement is that there be no more than three students per computer.The optimumis 20 students,but its possible to have 30,and some even have 35.Are the students expected to print manuals from the Web,or do they purchase manuals separately?You wouldnt want to print this curricul
