Cisco Illuminate: Empowering Growth and Innovation in Employee Development


07/08/2024


At Cisco, we firmly believe that our company's progress is intricately tied to the growth of our employees. This belief is reflected in Cisco Illuminate, our dedicated employee development series designed to foster continuous learning and personal growth. This initiative, held throughout the year, equips our workforce with essential skills needed to thrive in a dynamic business environment.
 
Cisco Illuminate offers participants access to compelling sessions led by industry experts and thought leaders, both from within Cisco and beyond. Past events have featured renowned speakers such as Oprah Winfrey, Andrew Ng, and Michelle Obama, covering a diverse range of topics including Artificial Intelligence, Cybersecurity, Well-being, and Leadership Development. These sessions are crafted to cultivate a growth mindset and prepare our employees for future challenges in the workplace.
 
The format of Cisco Illuminate is interactive and engaging, catering to various learning styles through keynote presentations, panel discussions, and hands-on workshops. Employees can choose to attend live streams from home, join watch parties on campus, or access recorded sessions at their convenience. This flexibility empowers our workforce to learn effectively and adapt to new skills seamlessly.
 
Looking ahead, we are preparing for our next Cisco Illuminate event on June 25-26, focusing on enhancing skills in AI, innovation, and well-being. This event will feature insights from industry leaders and experts, including James Clear, author of Atomic Habits, offering practical advice on productivity and personal growth.
 
By nurturing an inclusive environment that prioritizes continuous learning, Cisco Illuminate not only enhances individual development but also strengthens our collective ability to tackle global challenges. Employee testimonials highlight the transformative impact of this initiative, reinforcing our commitment to fostering a workplace where everyone can thrive.
