Leading companies such as Generali, Enimbos, Everis, Capgemini and Fujitsu have concluded an agreement with CEU universities to participate in providing scholarships and mentoring to students on CEU Digital Tech programs.

The students will have recourse to mentors from these companies, who will be on hand to advise them on meeting the challenges they will face, while also taking an active role in preparing the students for their transition to the world of work.  In addition, successful applicants will be eligible for financial assistance to allow them to pursue their studies.  Part of the amount dedicated to these scholarships will be destined to the advancement of female students in the technological world through the CEU Tech Women program.

The agreement is a great step forward for the university-business relationship model. It opens degrees such as Expert of the Cloud Computing program powered by Amazon Web Services to both new and continuing students as well as the Advanced Data Science program powered by SAS and the Artificial Intelligence program powered by Microsoft, all of which are modular, allowing students to personalize their study plan.

Ricardo Palomo, head of Partners and Business Intelligence at CEU Digital Tech, has noted that the agreement represents the real involvement of the business sector in the international race to promote expertise in the field of technological skills.

For the CEU Universities of the San Pablo CEU University Foundation the agreement demonstrates their commitment to technological and methodological innovation, to increasing their academic offer, and to improving the opportunity for future employment for CEU students, all of which consolidates the CEU brand and marks them out as part of an innovative institution.
