FHT Esslingen University Students Gain DB2 Skills for Real-World Edge
Overview Once upon a time, university curricula might have been heavy on theory and light on the real-world teachings that can ready students for the job market. But today, college campuses are embracing their role in preparing students for their futures. At FHT Esslingen University (FHT), for example, IT students begin tackling business technology challenges soon after they set foot in the classroom. A German technical institute located in the state of Baden-Württemberg in Southwest Germany, FHT works closely with local companies on joint projects that provide its students access to the latest technologies. FHT was thrilled when it learned about the IBM DB2 Scholars Program, which provides universities with the latest DB2 software as well as support. Since these resources come at no charge, the university stands to save thousands of dollars annually. When they graduate, the 800 students enrolled in the university’s four-year IT degree programs can confidently pursue opportunities at nearby companies such as DaimlerChrysler and Hewlett-Packard.
