About Program
The Network Automation Engineer Internship is designed for final-year VTU students who want to master modern networking skills along with Python automation. Starting with networking basics, routing, switching, and IP addressing, the program advances into Python scripting, APIs, automation frameworks, Netmiko, NAPALM, and Ansible for network orchestration. Students learn how to automate device configurations, collect logs, push policies, and build monitoring dashboards. With expert mentorship, hands-on labs, and project-driven learning, students develop real-world automation capabilities. By the end, learners build 2–3 deployable network automation projects and become prepared for roles in network engineering, automation, DevNet, and cloud operations.
