XMA has been supplying colleges and universities with ICT solutions for over 20 years.  We understand its importance in attracting students to your college and ensuring it is used to continually enhance the learning experience.  This inspired us to launch www.thenextbillgates.co.uk.  

In conjunction with our partner Toshiba we have launched a new competition to find the UK’s finest IT talent.  We want to hear from colleges about the students who make a difference with their IT knowledge and we want to hear from the students themselves to find out why they think they could be the next Bill Gates. This is a fantastic opportunity for an IT student to learn first-hand about working in the IT industry, through a real work based project placement where they will gain valuable experience to take with them to their University course. At the same time the financial burden that often comes with University studies will be eased through the tuition fees and laptop prize that this competition offers.

We hope you will see the potential this competition offers for your students and if you feel there is an opportunity to promote this at your college there are posters and flyers available from this site if you wish to use them. If you would like a quantity of printed copies please email the XMA marketing team.
