Madam,

The Equal Opportunities Office is glad to invite you to visit Cisco on Tuesday morning 8th April at EPFL Innovation Square.

Cisco is the worldwide leader and prime supplier of IP and telecom solution for the Internet, the Service Providers and the Enterprise markets.

With few hundred employees based in the offices in Zurich, Rolle and at EPFL Campus, Cisco in Switzerland has expanded its activities and created an Engineering team who is delivering products not only for the local market but for a global distribution.

Take this unique opportunity to visit an industry and you will hear directly from the local Cisco employees what is their daily life, what they do, how they do and in particular:
• Engineering: what is the engineer task to deliver a product? what are her/his responsibilities?
• Sales: what is a salesman in Cisco? how many jobs in the Sales organization?
• Corporate Technology
• Tax and Finance
• Testimonials: former EPFL students will talk about their "jump" into Cisco and the industry

…and also get information on the possible open internships and coming full time position… Two EPFL women were hired in the last 12 months!
            
If at least one question seems interesting to you: it is time to join!

The group size is large. This event will take place in English only.
At Cisco, the visit will last from 09:30 to around 13:00 – lunch offered to all participants by Cisco.

Hoping this visit would be of your interest, please register to Mrs. Nicole Berseth nicole.berseth@epfl.ch  , until Tuesday 1st April.
Exact meeting point and time will be communicated to registered people only.
