Who You'll Work With
The Arista Industry Readiness Programme is an industry-first programme that gives you the unique opportunity to intern in a hands-on learning based programme that lasts 5-6 months and is run annually out of our Sydney office.
Over the course of these months, you will learn, practice, test and be tested of various networking technologies starting from the absolute basics to complex networking technologies.
What You'll Do
Program Summary:
Objective: To prepare early career network engineers for the Cloud Networking Industry
Approach:
- Base program is tried and tested with over 10 iterations run by Arista globally.
- We enhance the impact by customising it each year for the specific target group
Program outline
