The aging network infrastructure and limited expertise in campus network management have posed significant challenges for many of NREN’s member institutions. To address these challenges and ensure the smooth operation of networks, NREN has prioritized capacity building for technical personnel. Through targeted workshops and training programs, NREN empowers IT professionals with the necessary skills to manage and maintain campus networks efficiently.
NREN’s training initiatives focus on essential areas such as network design, maintenance, and optimization, ensuring that local networks perform optimally and meet the growing demands of academic and research activities. These workshops help institutions design scalable, secure, and reliable networks, crucial for supporting the increasing use of technology in education and research.
NREN has trained numerous technical personnel on various topics, including:
Campus Network Design
Virtualization
Network Monitoring and Security
Routing and Switching Protocols
Domain Name System (DNS) and DNS-Sec
In addition to in-house training by NREN’s expert resource personnel, when specialized knowledge is required, external trainers from Nepal’s ICT community are invited to lead workshops. These experts provide valuable insights into emerging technologies and best practices, ensuring that our technical staff stays up-to-date with the latest advancements in network management.
Furthermore, NREN has supported many individuals to attend national/international workshops, conferences, and training programs. This enables them to gain exposure to global trends and cutting-edge technologies, enhancing their ability to manage and scale network infrastructure effectively within Nepalese institutions.
By investing in the development of local technical expertise, NREN ensures that institutions are well-equipped to manage their networks, maintain high levels of performance, and leverage advanced technologies to support research and education in Nepal.
