Do you want smart people, or certified people?  For smart people, build 
a company lab and buy some Cisco Press books.  Quiz them internally, and 
guide them from there.  For certified people, send them to boot camps. 
They'll memorize a bunch of material, and walk out with a piece of paper.

Most folks go the CCNA route, then CCNP.  Push your good routerheads to 
do CCIP as well.  Push your design-oriented people to do CCDA and CCDP 
as well.  Push your security folk to do CCSP.
