“The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act is a historic opportunity to lay the groundwork for a generation of education reform…coming at a time of economic and education crisis…’the perfect storm for reform’. It includes great leadership, proven strategies that work, and new money.”
U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan

As of March 2009, the current unemployment is 9.7% (15.0 million)

“Amid the worst job market in 25 years, IT is holding steady.” IT skills like networking, communications, security, and optimization are highly valued. Cisco certifications are among those “earning highest pay premiums.”3
“The evidence is clear … employers are depending on IT’s leadership and ability, not only in running operations efficiently and cost effectively, but in developing products and services that keep companies globally competitive in very uncertain market conditions.”4
“There's going to be a land grab of [technical] talent reminiscent of the dot-com era.”5

Green IT
Cisco’s green vision:
If it can be connected to the Internet, it can be greener; the network is the platform for sustainability and green innovation
IT has the potential to cut US carbon-dioxide emissions by up to 22% by 2020, a gross energy and fuel savings of up to $240 billion — equal to a 36% reduction in imported oil consumption.1
