Move your customers from AI interest to execution by tapping into skilling opportunities designed to strengthen delivery readiness and sharpen sales execution. This month's skilling focus is about going beyond AI pilots to deliver real outcomes, securely and across teams.
In May and June, Microsoft is delivering high-impact, in-person learning opportunities that can scale readiness across your broader team through role-based learning journeys, equipping you to drive AI-powered solutions and exceed customer expectations.
The in-person skilling difference
In-person skilling creates a different kind of readiness. You get face-to-face time with experts, hands-on practice, and peer-to-peer pattern sharing that is hard to replicate through self-paced content alone. The result is faster capability build, clearer delivery expectations, and better alignment between technical teams and sellers.
For many partners, the winning approach is a blend:
- In-person learning to build depth, practice real scenarios, and tighten delivery quality in Agentic AI in Copilot Studio, app modernization, sovereign cloud conversations, and AI-powered analytics in Microsoft Fabric.
- On-demand skilling to scale knowledge across your broader team and reinforce learning over time across topics like Microsoft Fabric IQ, agentic AI, Microsoft Defender XDR, and Microsoft Agent 365.
