In April, we announced our first ever Azure Fundamentals specialization on Coursera’s platform. Today, we are excited that AI Fundamentals and Data Fundamentals are now live on Coursera and a part of the Microsoft Azure Learning Collection. These new Specializations come amid rapid cloud adoption and offer students a strong set of skills that are in high demand in today’s workforce. In fact, according to Burning Glass, the number of Azure-related jobs is projected to grow 38 percent over the next ten years.
What skilling content is included in the new Microsoft Azure AI and Data Specializations?
Microsoft AI Fundamentals: In this Specialization, students can gain foundational knowledge about core artificial intelligence (AI) concepts and become familiar with services in Microsoft Azure that can be used to create AI solutions. Upon completing the Specialization, students will be prepared for the Microsoft Certified AI-900 Azure Fundamentals Exam.
