SAS Talent Connection
BeNeLux
For over 20 years, SAS BeNeLux has been dedicated to equipping university students with analytics and SAS skills to enhance their employability
Bridging the gap between academia and business
That was the vision when our Belgian subsidiary launched its academic program, highlighting the importance of collaborating with universities to share technology, fuel innovation, and connect top talent with business needs. Out of that vision, the SAS Benelux Academic Program was born in the early 2000s.
Today, through our Talent Connection Program, we continue to bring that vision to life—making it easy for students and graduates with SAS skills to connect with companies that use SAS to solve real-world challenges.
We help bridge the data analytics and AI skills gap by linking SAS-skilled students with employers looking for fresh talent. Our customers gain access to graduates from universities where SAS is integrated into courses like statistics, data mining, machine learning, programming, and marketing analytics.
Whether you're a business seeking the next generation of data professionals, or a student ready to start your journey, we’re here to connect you.

I recently had the opportunity to take part in the SAS Analytics Bootcamp, an intensive, hands-on program that brought together students and professionals passionate about data. The bootcamp covered a wide range of topics, from data preparation and statistical analysis to data visualization and modeling using SAS Viya.
The experience was incredibly rewarding. I worked on real-world data challenges, collaborated on a project that deepened my analytical skills, and connected with fellow data enthusiasts and industry experts. It was a fantastic learning environment that pushed me to think differently and explore new techniques in data exploration.
Looking back, the bootcamp not only strengthened my technical skills but also reinforced my commitment to using data to support evidence-based decision-making in my work.
