Students, give your career a head start with an enriching Students to Business internship.
The IT industry increasingly requires students to enter companies with real-life,
hands-on experience, as well as deep theoretical background. The S2B program makes
that possible through internships with top Microsoft partner companies – internships
that provide relevant work experience on innovative projects that greatly enhance
students’ value in the job market.
Students will have access to many Microsoft applications through the MSDN AA Program,
in order to provide the tools students need to be immediately productive in a company.
Projects and training will be focused on the most recent and innovative Microsoft
products and technologies.
Our goal is to provide students with the key competencies they need to excel in
their future jobs and to further grow an industry that is empowering, inclusive
and highly skilled. Strong local skills enhance economic growth and employment;
promote innovation, and further encourage technological and cultural advances in
India.
As the Indian workforce evolves to reflect the growing diversity of our community
and the global marketplace, Microsoft and its partners efforts to empower and grow
available IT skills within India is critically important.
