On September 4, 2003, Microsoft announced the first recipients of the Microsoft® Unlimited Potential (UP) program.

Microsoft UP is a global initiative that will focus on improving lifelong learning for underserved young people and adults by providing technology skills through community technology and learning centers (CTLCs). Microsoft believes that by providing technical skills training to underserved individuals, we can partner to create social and economic opportunities that can change peoples’ lives and transform communities.

Ultimately, Microsoft is helping bridge the global technology gap by providing the training and tools people need to realize their potential. With Microsoft UP, we are now focusing the majority of our global corporate philanthropy and partnerships on achieving that goal.
