CNET PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS

CNET (Computer Networking Engineering Training) was patterned after our successful SummerTEK program.

In this exciting after-school program, students learned about computer networking, one of the fastest growing career fields over the next decade.  The knowledge and skills acquired in this course can help them start on a path toward  innovative and rewarding careers such as Network Administrator  or  Network Engineer.  In addition to those who may be interested in the high-growth fields of information technology and computer networking as a possible career, this course was also valuable for students who aspire to own their own business. It was a great opportunity to learn about the basic building blocks of computer networks for home and small business enterprises in a supportive and user-friendly environment.
