In the concluding round, competitors participated in an exam that tested their knowledge, application skills, and creative talents. For the second consecutive year, finalists were required to complete a free-form project. This year’s challenge asked competitors to create an informational document for the non-profit client Mentors International.
"We are honored to be a part of the Microsoft Office Specialist World Competition," said James Oakes, Director of Product at Mentors International. "This event not only highlights the talents and dedication of the student competitors but also allows us to connect with like-minded individuals and organizations that share our mission to inspire positive change worldwide. Through mentoring, job-focused training courses, and micro-lending, we aim to transform the cycle of poverty into a lineage of success."
At the final event in California, JVIDÊÓƵ and Microsoft recognized the top student competitors during the MOS World Championship Awards Ceremony and presented each first-place winner with an $8,000 cash prize. The second and third-place honorees received $4,000 and $2,000, respectively.
“This event marks 22 years since the Microsoft Office Specialist competition began in 2002. We are exceptionally proud of what we have managed to achieve, through our partners around the world, in providing young people with a platform such as this to learn, compete, and gain valuable skills that will help them in their future careers,” said Craig Bushman, General Manager, JVIDÊÓƵ.
