Microsoft Launches Free AI Training Program

Microsoft Launches AI Training Program to Help Workers Gain New Skills in partnership with LinkedIn Learning. The “Professional Certificate in Generative AI” program provides learners with the skills they need to understand and use generative AI technologies.

Generative AI is a type of artificial intelligence that can create new content, such as images, text, and music. It is used in a variety of industries, including healthcare, finance, and marketing.

The Microsoft AI training program covers the following topics:

• The basics of AI and machine learning
• The different types of generative AI
• How to use generative AI to solve real-world problems
• The ethical considerations of using generative AI

Learners can complete the self-paced program at their own pace and upon completion, they will receive a Professional Certificate from Microsoft.

Microsoft will translate the program into other languages in the coming months.

In addition to the free AI training program, Microsoft is also offering a grant program to help organizations develop new ways to train workers in generative AI. The grant program is open to organizations in all countries.

Microsoft Launches AI Training Program comes at a time when there is a growing demand for AI skills in the workforce. The World Economic Forum found that AI is expected to create 97 million new jobs by 2025, but also found that there will be a shortage of 85 million skilled workers to fill these jobs.

The Microsoft AI training program is one way to help address the skills gap in AI. By providing free training to workers, Microsoft is helping to ensure that people have the skills they need to succeed in the AI-driven economy.

Here are some additional details about the program:

• LinkedIn Learning offers the program, which is a subscription-based online learning platform. However, Microsoft is offering the AI training program for free through 2025.
• The program consists of 10 modules, each of which takes about 2 hours to complete.
• The program covers a variety of topics, including the basics of AI, machine learning, and generative AI.
• Upon completion of the program, learners will receive a Professional Certificate from Microsoft.
• Learners can complete the self-paced program at their own pace.
