At Microsoft, you’re not just a cog in the corporate wheel. We take your personal development seriously and provide extensive resources to help you find and follow your chosen career path in pursuit of your goals.

Microsoft offers more than 1,000 training classes (in-person and online), covering everything from “advancing your career” to “zoomable interfaces”. Educational events and conferences like Microsoft Research‘s TechFest and a steady stream of mash-up events stimulate the flow of ideas across groups.

In addition to great resources like MSDN and Channel 9, we also get access to even richer internal material, like special tools and tutorials and beta releases of products like Expression Web, SilverLight, and Visual Studio. Hundreds of employees publish internal blogs with the latest news from their team, tips and tricks for new technologies, and insights on working at Microsoft.
