Novell Training Brings High Technology Career Opportunities to San Jose
High Schools

SAN JOSE, CA -- September 6, 1995 -- When the school year gets underway
later this month, nearly 100 San Jose high school students will be
enrolling in new computer network administration courses that could result
in high technology skills and career opportunities upon graduation.

These new courses, in which students learn how to administer computer
networks, were developed in partnership with Novell, Inc. and the San Jose
Education Network (SJEN). Students who successfully complete the network
administration curriculum and pass a Novell certification exam will become
Certified Novell Administrators (CNAs), an industry- recognized
certification standard that can help students gain entry into the
information technology job market.

"By offering the CNA program at the high school level, Novell is able to
give back to the community," said Carolyn G. Rose, Vice President and
General Manager of Novell Education. "Technology changes so rapidly. It's
difficult for schools to keep up, especially as they face funding and
appropriations challenges. This is just one example of how the private
sector can make a difference."

The courses began as part of a three-year-old initiative of the San Jose
school system designed to better prepare students for technology careers.
Within three years, the four San Jose school districts, representing 30
high schools, expect to include the Certified Novell Administrator
curriculum in all of their high schools as part of the regular course of
study.

Students will learn the necessary skills to administer the NetWare networks
commonly used today. Through a partnership with SJEN, Novell has prepared
the San Jose school teachers to teach network administration courses.

The San Jose Education Network currently consists of a Wide-Area Network
connecting 64 Santa Clara county schools. Ten of these schools offer total
distributed access to the WAN from any computer on site over a NetWare 4.1
network. These 10 schools are the ones that will be offering the CNA class
to selected students this year.

SJEN receives financial support, as well as products and services, from
many public and private sources, including Novell Inc., 3Com Corporation,
Sun Microsystems, Pacific Bell and the City of San Jose. Textbooks for the
student training are available through Southwestern Publishing Co.
