Applied Skills Missing in Training Report
As a Microsoft Solutions Partner (approx 400 employees) we are working on creating a dashboard for managers to see how we are faring from a skilling perspective. This also helps us in the tracking and working towards retaining our specializations and designations.
So far we have used the Trainings Report derived from the downloads hub to feed our database with applicable certifications that are held by our employees.
That database we then used to also report on our skilling requirements for the solution area's and the specializations.
Recently Microsoft introduced new specializations (Copilot) and those specializations require Applied Skills to be held by employees.
These applied skills do not show in the trainings report offered by Microsoft. (E.g. APL-4002: Prepare security and compliance to support Microsoft 365 Copilot,APL-7008: Create agents in Microsoft Copilot Studio or DW-101: Copilot for Microsoft 365 Deployment Workshop )
As such we're wondering whether Microsoft is working on including these applied skills in the trainings reporting?

Hello MarnixMoor. I don't know a contact to ask this of, but I will do my best to track someone down internally.
Hi Jill,
Did you manage to find anyone who is involved with this part of the Partner Center?- JillArmourMicrosoft
MarnixMoor I have found someone that is working on this for you. She just responded this morning:
If this partner is in ESI Program or a managed partner, they should be able to see the applied skills report in ESI CXP Portal. If not, she will continue to look.
I have asked her for a link to the ESI CXP Portal, I'm waiting for that response.
