	The America-Mideast Educational and Training Services, Inc. (AMIDEAST) and the Cisco Entrepreneur Institute (CEI) announced they have reached an agreement whereby AMIDEAST will establish a training center in Lebanon, with similar centers to be established at a later stage in Morocco and Oman. Training at the center is scheduled to begin in late October, with courses focusing on starting a business, how to grow a company, as well as on entrepreneurship, among others. Stanford University and Cornell University will provide content and learning resources for the workshops. AMIDEAST instructors completed CEI virtual training in July and will deliver the courses at AMIDEAST premises in Beirut. Cisco indicated that the collaboration with AMIDEAST aims to provide training that will help translate Lebanon’s entrepreneurial potential into new jobs and economic growth. Cisco Systems said it established the CEI in 2007 to support entrepreneurship around the world and to enable individuals, businesses, and governments to participate fully in the global networked economy. The US-based Cisco Systems, Inc. designs and sells networking and communications technology and services worldwide. It has more than 65,000 employees and annual revenue of $36.1bn as of 2009.
