Microsoft .NET Club Program
Introduction
 

The Microsoft .Net Club program is an initiative that:

1. Aims at helping bridge the gap between IT students and the IT industry

Through the creation of student clubs that develop relations with Microsoft and local partners.

2. Aim at facilitating peer networking among university students, local industry partners, and Microsoft

Most students come out of the university with minimal work experience; the .Net Club is there to help them realize their full potential.

3. Helps students gain a practical side to their academic experience

Through supporting the clubs, Microsoft aims to enable graduate students to find employment and fit into the workplace much more easily. The total number of members in the .Net clubs in Lebanon, Jordan and Malta goes over 1,800 students.

4. Runs by the students and benefits the students

With guidance and assistance from the university and from Microsoft and its partners, students gain exposure to the working world and are kept up-to-date on the latest technologies through club activities.
