  • Microsoft IT Academy Student Pass

    In an earlier blog I directed you toward the free Preparation Kit for the Windows Embedded CE 6.0 Exam 70-571 and, following on from that, today I’d like to introduce you to the Microsoft IT Academy Student Pass which provides free e-learning courses to verified university students and is an excellent way for them to supplement their degree studies with additional learning on Microsoft technologies.

    Your students may also want to explore Microsoft technical certifications, and the IT Academy Student Pass is a perfect entry point to five different certification paths.

    Please encourage your students to visit the site and learn more.

    Best wishes,

    Allison

  • Software Entrepreneurship Faculty Workshop

    Hi All,

    In June, Bournemouth University played host to Lars Lindstedt who delivered a two day Software Entrepreneurship Faculty Workshop.

    The training materials for that event are now available to view on the National Council for Graduate Entrepreneurship website and include the slide decks together with a couple of case studies.

    Do please take a look, and if you have any questions or want further information, come back to me and I’ll be happy to help.

    Best,

    Allison McVety

  • Life as an intern on the Microsoft Student Placement Programme

    Based in Reading and London, our placements last 48 weeks, beginning with a week-long induction designed to introduce the student to all the different areas of the business and identify objectives for their professional development.

    Subsequent learning will take the form of on-the-job training within thier team, bespoke skills training and one-to-one performance reviews. Most importantly, they'll do real work and have real opportunities to make a genuine impact on our business and their future.

    The benefits of a Microsoft Student Placement don’t merely apply to their future career, however. There’s also some pretty hefty advantages to getting involved with Microsoft from day one, including a £14,500 a year salary, £500 sign on bonus, 25 days’ holiday per year, and – should you wish to return to Microsoft on the MACH programme – a fast-track to the last stage of the assessment process.

     Please encourage your students to apply by returning a completed application form available here to sturec@microsoft.com quoting placement08.  They might even end up working in our team and take over from Ben Coley from De Montfort and Muhammad Walji from Brunel

  • Nominate a student to be a Microsoft Student Partner

    The Microsoft Student Partner programme is a great way for students who are passionate about technology to work alongside Microsoft. As an MSP the students will receive training, resources, mentoring and more, in return they will act as our ambassadors on campus. The programme has been so successful this year that we want to extend it and have an MSP at every university next year. The deadline for applications is fast approaching - May 26th - so we are asking for your help in 2 ways:

    1. Please send a short email to Stuart Leddy telling us who you wish to nominate and why t-sleddy@microsoft.com

    and

    2. Ask the student concerned to complete the simple application form on www.microsoft.com/uk/academia

    So that we do not detract from their studies, ideal students are those in their penultimate year although we are happy to accept nominations for students in other years if you feel strongly that they are the most suitable. This really is a tremendous opportunity for the student, please see the testimonies on our website from those who took part this year.

    Claire
