Juletip #14 - Do like Santa: Check out the brand-new SAS Skill Builder!

[saraarmandi]

Finally, December, and only 10 days until Christmas! ❄️☃️ Time for parties and celebrations - and new releases!

This December marks the release of our new student platform: SAS Skill Builder for Students 🎉🍾

The SAS Skill Builder is a pile of the best Christmas presents you could wish for 🎁 It's a repository of resources to help you develop analytics skills that can boost your career.

On the platform, you can access FREE online courses, pursue certifications and prep for exams. We’ll also help you stay motivated and inspired with information about how SAS is used in industries worldwide, ways to connect with employers, and how people just like you are using their data skills to build successful and impactful careers.

From the Skill Builder, you can access different free software options. You'll find:

• SAS OnDemand for Academics - a browser-based programming environment 💻⌨️
• SAS Viya for Learners - an integrated suite of interactive visual interfaces, allowing you to learn the newest technologies from SAS 📈📊

If you’re not a student, but an educator, we have the amazing Educator Portal. Beside software, e-learning and certification material, you get access to instructional materials. The Educator Portal is indeed helpful if you have integrated, or if you are thinking of integrating SAS as part of your teaching.

Not associated with any university? Don’t you worry. Take a look at our Learning Subscriptions. The tool helps you learn SAS, expand employee knowledge and measure value. Currently we have a 30-day free trial period for the learning and

training subscription.

Besides access to learning subscriptions, we, in the SAS Academic department, are more than willing to collaborate with you as a customer. Through our job we meet a lot of talented students with analytical skills. So, if you’re in need of a new employee, or just want to take a student under your wings (e.g., by collaborating on Bachelor's or Master's thesis project) don’t hesitate to reach out to Sara.Armandi@sas.com.

Finally, stop by our Facebook page www.facebook.com/SASforStudents to learn more about the Skill Builder and all our other free offerings. Just like Santa, we have been looking so much forward to diving into all the possibilities and functionalities of the new SAS Skill Builder. On our Facebook page, you’ll find a Christmas calendar. Here, we are sharing small posts with info on the Skill Builder, each weekday until Christmas.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
