The Students to Business (S2B) program is a Microsoft® Community Initiative designed to connect Microsoft partners and customers with qualified students for entry-level and internship positions. S2B will provide skilled workers to Microsoft partners and establish the skill requirements to fuel innovation and enable employability of the next generation.
The objective of the S2B program is to inspire local businesses to communicate the competency requirements for new talent, to evaluate the skills of students ready for an entry-level job or internship and collaborate with Microsoft to provide the curriculum and training needed to ensure students are prepared to meet your company’s needs.
Students engaged in S2B benefit from unique training and certification opportunities, compliments of Microsoft. Various offerings are available to students at each stage of S2B – when profiling, in application and after job connection.
The S2B program was first piloted in Italy and has since been rolled out in other countries, including Netherlands, Poland, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, South Africa, and Turkey. Microsoft is pleased to bring S2B to the United States.
