We would like to invite you to join the Microsoft Student Accelerator (MSA) Programme as an employer to help create a thriving innovative IT sector in Aotearoa New Zealand!

What is the MSA Programme?

The Microsoft Student Accelerator Program was created in New Zealand to empower kiwi students across the country by giving them the right training and opportunities to help them accelerate their careers in technology.

MSA bridges the gap between education and the workplace across New Zealand by skilling students up on key technologies and providing them with voluntary work placement opportunities with organisations over the summer.
