Participate in the S2B Program and help shape the future of the IT industry.

More and more, graduating students are discovering that the IT industry demands hands-on experience, as well as theoretical knowledge on their CVs. Yet it’s difficult for universities to keep up with the short-term demands of the local economy when creating long-term curriculum plans. Now universities have an opportunity to collaborate on combined long-term technology objectives by creating real partnerships with local businesses.

Microsoft Students to Business connects universities and students with top Microsoft partner companies, allowing students to enrich their resumes through internships and enabling universities to establish meaningful relationships with the industry.
