MICROSOFT LAUNCHES NEW AI SKILLS TRAINING AND RESOURCES AS PART OF SKILL FOR
JOBS INITIATIVE
* Report this article

CORPORATE VICE PRESIDENT, MICROSOFT PHILANTHROPIES
Published Jun 28, 2023

AI offers tremendous potential to empower workers around the world – but only if
everyone, everywhere has the skills to use it. It's little surprise that,
according to the World Economic Forum, AI skills represent the third-highest
priority for companies’ training strategies, right alongside analytical and
creative thinking.
To begin addressing this need, today we are launching a new AI Skills Initiative
to help people and communities around the world learn how to harness the power
of AI. The Microsoft AI Skills Initiative includes new, free coursework
developed with LinkedIn, including the first Professional Certificate on
Generative AI in the online learning market; a new open global grant challenge
in coordination with data.org to uncover new ways of training workers on
generative AI; and greater access to free digital learning events and resources
for everyone to improve their AI fluency.
As noted in Microsoft’s recent Work Trend Index, AI is uniquely poised to create
a whole new way of working just as the pace of information work is outpacing our
ability to keep up. A whopping 62% of survey respondents said they struggle with
too much time spent searching for information in their workday. And while 49% of
people say they’re worried AI will replace their jobs, even more—70%—would
delegate as much work as possible to AI to lessen their workloads. To that end,
our new AI Skills Initiative aims to help workers around the world stay ahead of
emerging skills gaps and take advantage of these new technologies.
Here’s how:
Revolutionizing skills training – the Generative AI Skills Grant Challenge
While much focus has been on the potential for AI to drive efficiency and
unleash human creativity, AI also represents a sea change for how people can
learn. We know the demand for skills training -- whether in the cybersecurity
field or baseline digital skills – is massive and continues to grow. We’ll need
to revolutionize how we train people, and we believe that AI skills can help.
We’re just starting to explore the possibilities. And that’s incredibly exciting
– and daunting.
That’s why, alongside data.org, Microsoft’s AI for Good Lab, and GitHub, we’re
launching the Generative AI Skills Grant Challenge, an open grant program to
explore, develop, and implement how nonprofit, social enterprise, and research
or academic institutions can train and empower the workforce to use generative
AI. This global grant will support organizations driving skilling and economic
growth, especially those focusing on fair and community-led implementations of
generative AI with historically marginalized populations around the world. In
addition to financial support, the awardees will receive access to a cohort
experience, Microsoft events, Azure-based cloud computing resources as well as
data training and technical guidance from Microsoft and GitHub experts.
We strongly encourage nonprofit organizations, social enterprises, and academic
or research institutions dedicated to upskilling opportunities in generative AI
to apply. The grant is now accepting applications, with a deadline for initial
proposals on August 15, 2023, and we’ll announce the winners this Fall. To learn
more about the new grant visit data.org/challenge.
New, free skilling content
As part of our Skills for Jobs program, we're partnering with LinkedIn Learning
to launch the first Professional Certificate on Generative AI in the online
learning market. Through this new coursework, workers will learn introductory
concepts of AI, including a look at responsible AI frameworks, and receive a
Career Essentials certificate when they pass the assessment. This Professional
Certificate on Generative AI is currently available in English and will launch
in Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Simplified Chinese, and Japanese over
the coming months on LinkedIn Learning. As with the six other Career Essentials
Professional Certificates offered with our Skills for Jobs program, this
coursework will be unlocked and available for free through 2025
We’ll also launch a trainer toolkit for teachers, trainers, and facilitators
who, as we know from the past five years of our skilling work, are critical in
providing skilling resources and training to local communities. The toolkit will
include downloadable, bite-sized content for trainers, including a new AI course
built for educators by Microsoft Education and content on the practical uses of
AI. Additionally, we are releasing the Microsoft Learn AI Skills Challenge, a
free technical training challenge to learn essential AI skills with Microsoft
products and services, beginning on July 17th – sign up HERE.
What’s next
Through our Skills for Jobs program, Microsoft has been working to bring digital
skills to people around the world and ensure they’re not left behind in the
digital economy. We’ve reached millions, helped people find new careers, and
focused on the cybersecurity field and new, in-demand jobs in the digital
economy. I’m extremely proud of what we’ve accomplished. This new effort is the
next step in that campaign, marking a new beginning that will build on a new
wave of technology innovation to come. We’re already seeing energy and
excitement about AI’s potential and, more than anything, a tremendous appetite
to learn more. Over the coming months we’ll be announcing new dimensions to this
effort, with new partners, new goals, and new ideas. And, as always, we’ll share
our lessons learned as the program evolves.
As Microsoft’s President and Vice Chair Brad Smith recently said, “AI offers
perhaps even more potential for the good of humanity than any invention that has
preceded it.” But to live up to this potential, people need the skills to use
AI effectively and ethically.
This is only the first step, with more to come and more to learn. And we’re
excited to help.

Absolutely thrilled to hear about Microsoft's new AI training and Grant program
launch! 🚀 This initiative holds incredible potential, especially in the Foster
care sector. I share your excitement in exploring how this training can empower
young individuals transitioning out of the system. The growth in the AI field is
remarkable, and its accessibility without the necessity of a degree makes it a
game-changer. Looking forward to the positive impact this can have on the lives
of these young minds. Let's connect soon to discuss further details!

Looking forward to govt involvment, investment and interactivity. View this as
extremely important variable - its bigger than just what everyone obviously
knows which is where there is absolutely and scientifically a pathway from a to
c to e but one noone knows, govt bottomless pockets can ensure ways are found to
make those dots connect. This is more than just bottomless pockets - its the
complete lack of and incorporability into everything mindfulness of
profitability in experiments and incrementality. If the pathways and procedures
are anything but profitable, but govt knows it can and wants to make the dots
happen, govt can deliver like no other. Besides that and perhaps bigger than -
theres immense predictive and dependent value with these sorts of things with
the sort of positioning and pathways to make policies and processes happen with
credibility, absent skepticisms on profitability etc. This variable is
transformational as - participation and legitimization and the frameworks in
itself - extremely propagates positive mxms. Even if a private citizen had
bottomless pockets like the govt and carefree budget sheets - absent that
credibility and capability - all the money in the galaxies and beyond couldnt
compete

Next steps will be drawing in - highlighting the moral compel, beyond calculable
beneficial, reasons and rationales for the powers that be (government bottomless
pockets). Not only with absolute certainty is transformative elevations and
benefits to humanity on the line - on flip side there is very real, costs and
tolls and lives who could be left in the dark and downsides - all of which in
ways that were totally avoidable and transformable.. Governments - in all
fairness and with all factors incorporated - should have bottomless pockets here
as - regardless of how much they have to put in - the alternate / opportunity
costs / scenarios are way more costly - (not to mention - costly and at best
morally questionably). Govts really should rightfully proactively rise to
realize this once in lifetimes set of variables coming together to make real and
reality that which may not otherwise - at least for decades become so. Its
really an opportunity to think as big as one could, pair it with the compel and
collectively agreed mandatory retraining / repositioning, and draw out the
objective facts, figures, factors that if met - make deliverable and dependable
those beyond otherwise imaginible

This is an exceptional setting of tone and roll out; which if / when rivals are
driven to exceed just makes it that much better. 😀 There is an open market and
certainty of relative opportunity and market share amongst the key players -
that is for sure yet to be ironed out. Catalysts and fuelers of those changes
etc however -are specific, certain and will always stand out.
