Microsoft and Carnegie Mellon University have announced the PRAISE program, an effort to help early career developers working for the company. This is the first time that Microsoft and the university are working together in this fashion, where the two entities are working together to help foster talent internally. The program is aimed at early career developers who are just starting to work at Microsoft. This program is set up to help them grow their skills via academic partnerships.
Internal initiative connects early career developers with university resources
PRAISE is not a consumer product or a new hardware offering, but an internal program to help developers at Microsoft grow in their career. Instead of releasing a new software feature for the public, it's a program to help Microsoft's own employees grow in their careers. It's the university aspect of Carnegie Mellon University that's going to help out Microsoft's workforce. This means early career employees can take advantage of the university's development programs.
Microsoft and Carnegie Mellon University are the heart of the program. Specifically, this is for early career developers that work at Microsoft. There is no licensing of something external to the university.
There's no releasing something to the public. This is internal training and development for the company's employees.
This new program is the company's way of integrating academic partnerships in their internal career development. It shows how the company is focused on helping young professionals in the early stages of their careers. And it does this by offering a clear connection between work and the university (specifically for the demographic). The program is now live and a partnership between the two organizations.
