Cisco has announced new certifications for developing the competencies needed for the Internet of Everything (IoE). They focus on connecting, orchestration and automation, and creating infrastructure to enable data analytics in real time. 

Certified Network Associate (CCNA) is used primarily for industrial purposes in conjunction with the IoE. The certification is a part of Cisco’s Industrial Education curriculum which focuses on IT and control engineers and plant administrators. This curriculum will attempt to close the skills gap as manufacturing and industrial infrastructure converge into one.

Cloud Certification: CCNA and Certified Network Professional (CCNP) will allow IT professionals to build and manage cloud-based systems for different industries and companies. The certification distinction is for entry-level employees to provide IT and cloud support, whereas the CCNP certification gives candidates the skills to discuss and explain cloud software and concepts. CCNPs are also able to build and operate complex systems in various environments.
