The initiative will provide an experiential way of learning, encouraging students to develop new skills, attitudes and ways of thinking. In addition, it will provide access to first?grade jobs through the Microsoft partner network, increasing the employability of USIU?Africa students and unemployed graduates from other universities who participate in the program.
