When Yahoo! employees call for technical assistance this fall, the accent they hear may be “Cheesehead.” The University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh announced Wednesday that tech giant Yahoo! will establish a student-staffed technical support center in Oshkosh.
The Yahoo! CareCenter, which is about two years in the making, will provide technical support to some of the company’s 17,000 employees.
Students staffing the Yahoo! CareCenter will be able to earn $10,000 or more per year working part time, UW-Oshkosh said in a news release. Twenty students will be recruited initially, with 20 more added as needed.
