The Sun Learning Connection is an educational service offered through the Sun Academic Initiative, an international program designed to create a collaborative relationship between Sun Microsystems and academic institutions. Wayne State University is a member of this program.
The Sun Academic Initiative provides its members with free unlimited access to Sun technology courses and professional development courses from NETg through the Sun Learning Connection on the Web. Courses delivered through this program will introduce you to Sun Microsystems technologies, prepare you for industry-leading certification, and equip you with marketable IT and business management job skills.
The self-paced online training courses available through this program cover such topics as: Java technology, Unix system administration (Solaris and Linux), network management and security, Web services and publishing, Sun ONE infrastructure products, the StarOffice productivity suite, and professional development courses from NETg.
Wayne State University students, faculty, and staff — full-time or part-time — can take an online course through the Sun Learning Connection (see How do I access the Sun Learning Connection? below).

There is no cost for accessing the Sun Learning Connection and taking a Web-based course. These educational services are free under Wayne State University's membership in the Sun Academic Initiative.
