We have a list of companies using Debian on the website:
https://www.debian.org/users/#com
There are also some companies and individuals doing Debian consulting:

We don't really have teaching material AFAIK, but perhaps some of our

There are lots of opportunities for students and other newcomers to
contribute in various ways depending on their skill set. Probably the

out issues that might be suitable for newcomers to tackle as well as
issues relating to the system it is installed on.
