At Staffordshire University we always ensure that our students have the most relevant knowledge for this fast paced industry. On the 10th of May our very own Dr Justin Champion and Chris Howard attended a one day event in Manchester, which was jointly hosted by Cisco and UKFast, with the idea behind the event being to bring together industry and academia to better understand what recent developments are happening within computing.

The talks were given by various companies to give an insight into how they are seeing the sector develop, and what skills our future graduates will require to get a head start upon graduation, with the event also being an excellent opportunity to network with industry players and to reinforce the understanding of what skills our graduates will need for the future.

Here at Staffs Uni, we aim to produce the type of graduates which the networking industry is so keen to hire.
