MSFT training in NC high schools.

N.C., Microsoft partner to provide IT training to students :: WRAL.com:
Raleigh, N.C. — Microsoft announced Monday that North Carolina is the first state in the nation to launch the Microsoft IT Academy Program at all public high schools.

The IT Academy 'provides students with real-world technology skills they need to be successful in college and their careers,' according to a Microsoft news release.

Under the agreement, teachers will also receive Microsoft learning curricula as well as professional development support and resources to help them tailor their instruction.
Tangible benefit to NC students, cynical corporate ploy, or both? (Or neither?)
