With support from Sun's Global Education and Research
Computing sales group, Sun Educational Services launched the
Authorized Sun Education Center Academic Initiative (ASEC-AI)
earlier in 2000. This program authorizes colleges and
universities to deliver a core set of Sun technology courses
for Java, Solaris, and StarOffice. In designing the academic
initiative, Sun seeks to create a collaborative relationship
with academic institutions and provide courses in Sun
technologies to the next generation of information technology
professionals and innovators. The program course offerings
enable students to pursue certifications as Sun Certified
Programmer for the Java Platform, and Sun Certified System
Administrator for Solaris.
The program is complemented by the Sun Web Learning Center,
which provides academic institutions free access to online
introductory courses.

This gives students a good understanding of the fundamentals
driving many of today's leading technologies, including Java,
Jini, Solaris, and StarOffice.
Working with Java technology represents both a cultural and a
technical change from a mainframe environment; it takes a
different mindset.
