The "Ignite" Program for People with Disabilities is a one-year developmental initiative aimed at providing firsthand real-life work experience in the corporate world while receiving mentorship from exceptional leaders. The program's primary goal is to foster greater inclusion within both our organization and the broader community. It offers people with disabilities an opportunity to enhance their technical and interpersonal skills, thereby equipping them with a competitive edge for future employment opportunities, both within and outside of Microsoft, upon completion of the program. Participants will be assigned to project-based roles that contribute significantly to our business objectives and/or enhance current processes. Please note that only individuals with disabilities are eligible to participate in this development program. If you are not part of this community, you are encouraged to explore other available roles on our recruiting page: careers.microsoft.com. People with disabilities are also welcome to apply for all other positions listed on careers.microsoft.com and undergo the standard hiring process. The program consists of two tracks: software engineering and technical support engineering. Depending on your qualifications and interests, you will be considered for one of these tracks and work on challenging and meaningful projects that align with your career goals. Microsoft’s mission is to empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more. As employees we come together with a growth mindset, innovate to empower others, and collaborate to realize our shared goals. Each day we build on our values of respect, integrity, and accountability to create a culture of inclusion where everyone can thrive at work
