Summer of SAS
According to IDC "SAS enjoys highest market share growth rate of the top five BI vendors". Read more
As consequence, the demand for SAS knowledge and expertise exceeds the number of skilled people available in Belgium and Luxembourg. To make up the shortage, SAS encourages young graduates from colleges and universities to apply for a holiday job at SAS, where they are paid to learn SAS.
Are you ready to become a SAS Student Ambassador?
SAS Belgium-Luxembourg has an excellent track of successful SAS Student Ambassadors. This Program is a competition designed to recognize and support student researchers who use SAS technologies to benefit their fields of study. The selected students will earn the opportunity to present their research to a global community of SAS users at SASŪ Global Forum, which will be held March 22-25, 2009, in the National Harbor, Maryland. SAS will pay travel expenses and registration fees for Student Ambassadors who attend and present their research. Have a look at last year winners.
The deadline for submitting applications and all required materials - including an abstract and a working draft of the paper - is October 13, 2008.
For additional information about this competition and other SAS student programs, please visit us online or send an e-mail to studentprograms@sas.com.
