"As the leading public teaching and research university on the continent, UC Berkeley is host to an outstanding student population. UC Berkeley students go on to become leaders in all fields, both locally in the Bay Area, and around the world.

The SAGE Scholars Program offers companies the opportunity to recruit these outstanding students while they are in the midst of their studies, thereby providing companies with excellent resources and the ability to shape the future workforce.

SAGE Scholars participate in career development workshops, presented by experts in their fields, to expand their business skills. These workshops, on such topics as communication skills, business writing, and business etiquette, allow students to develop skills, that along with guidance from the SAGE staff, will inevitably add value to any organization.

I encourage you to be part of this exciting collaboration. Participating in the SAGE Scholars Program allows students to explore their careers in a unique, hands-on manner, and businesses the opportunity to expand and train their in-coming employees. In partnership, UC Berkeley's SAGE Scholars Program and its sponsoring businesses can shape the workforce of tomorrow, and support diversity on the UC Berkeley campus and in the business community as a whole."
