The tech giant designed this challenge to suit a wide range of participants. Whether you’re a tech expert, student, business owner, or just curious about AI, the program has something for you. Microsoft will provide several learning options including live virtual and in-person events, self-paced tutorials, coding challenges, and hands-on hackathons.
Learn AI Skills Using Tools Like GitHub Copilot and Azure AI
Participants of the free 50-Day AI Skills training will get to build real-world skills using tools like GitHub Copilot, Azure AI, and Microsoft 365 Copilot. These tools are becoming more important in today’s job market, and Microsoft wants to make sure more people know how to use them.
