On the 9th of May, the spring 2022 cohort of the Microsoft Ambassador Program will be graduating. The Ambassadors have spent weeks bolstering their knowledge of Microsoft office programs and their applications and are now set to flex their newly acquired skills. According to one Ambassador;
“I learned about various features present in the Microsoft products which I was unaware of, even though I have been using the software for years”
This program was created in response to students requesting more information and experience using Microsoft products for classes. Participating students earn certification from Microsoft and the Office of Information Technology, gain real-life resume-building experience that distinguishes them in the job market, and have exclusive access to Microsoft tech experts.
Partnering with groups such as Microsoft and UTD Career services, the program is custom developed to focus on micro-credentialing and upskilling key soft skills that employers are seeking in today’s market. By offering demonstrable experience to students, this programs them an edge in today’s competitive labor markets.
