The Sun Academic Initiative Program offers courses and creates a collaborative relationship between Sun and academic institutions to introduce students to Sun technologies, prepare them for industry-leading certification, and equip them with marketable IT job skills.

Selected colleges and universities become Authorized Sun Education Centers which enables those institutions to deliver training on Sun technologies to their students. Students can obtain free access to selected online courses through the SunTM Web Learning Center.

Two pdf brochures are available to help students become certified in Sun technologies and help students understand Sun technologies: "Success Is More Than a Diploma" and "A World of Technology Education."

There is more information on the Sun Academic Initiative Program available online, including case studies (featuring the University of Colorado at Boulder and Mesa Community College, AZ), information on how to become an Authorized Sun Education Center, how to use the Sun Web Learning Center, and curriculum information, program benefits, and certification.
