Microsoft Military Affairs reposted this
In the military, they knew exactly where they fit in but once they left the service, they often felt like outsiders. With a 94% graduation rate and 97% employment rate, the Military Software and Systems Academy is helping veterans transition to tech careers. https://msft.it/6000qVTYE

After a career in service, many military members are unsure of their next steps when transitioning to civilian work. They often wonder if there’s a place for them in the business world. Thanks to a one-of-a-kind Microsoft program championed by one of their own, military members are learning valuable skills to help them establish new careers in the tech industry. The Microsoft Software and Systems Academy (#MSSA) is a 17-week, remote program that has placed over 4,000 graduates in tech jobs from more than 1,000 companies over the last decade. Learn more about how the MSSA program was created and read the success stories of a cross-section of graduates and MSSA supporters.

This week we reached a new milestone as the MSSA program surpassed 4,000 graduates since our inception in 2013. With the recent graduation of our pilot cohort of MSSA–Military Spouse, the Internet Explorers—and MSSA cohorts Class Sixers, Cloud Crusaders, Nothing But .Net, Booldogs, and VaaS (Veterans as a Service)—we’ve now trained and graduated 4,052 military veterans, spouses, and transitioning service members, all prepared for careers in IT. We are incredibly proud of the impact we’ve made: 📍 94% program graduation rate 📍 96% of graduates seeking employment (instead of continuing education) are employed, with 90% of them working in IT 📍 764 Microsoft employees are signed up to work with MSSA participants as technical or professional skills mentors However, the real impact of #MSSA goes beyond these numbers. Each graduate represents a life and a career journey that has been positively changed by this experience. Join Microsoft in celebrating this milestone moment!
