On July 29th, 2008, CFDL Students from 3 counties attended the 2nd Annual Cisco Black Employee Network - CFDL Technical Career Day in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina. Rene Daughtry, Chairman of CBEN RTP, Interim Director of CBEN US and Daryl Thomas, CFDL Founder/Executive Director kicked off the event with an overview of Cisco and a discussion of the many opportunites that exist within the high tech market.
Rene expressed Cisco's committment to our Youth, explaining that they will be the future engineers, analysts, and developers that Cisco will employ to maintain our number one position within the industry.
A leading Project Manager in Advanced Services, Daughtry has documented his passion in the white paper "Cisco n Da' Hood". He writes..."It takes a village to raise children....The village is a global village consisting of family, churches, businesses, schools and industry. The Cisco Black Employee Network (CBEN) has taken steps to help to "Shrink the Digital Divide”.
This was truly an eye opening expereince for many of the Students attending. For many, it was the first time they even considered a career in the high tech / IT industry. Definately a memorable moment.
