Microsoft Copilot Training.

Our workshops give business teams the practical knowledge & skills to leverage Copilot for M365.

Only 13% of employees have received employer provided AI skills training.

Latest research from Cultivate’s AI in the workplace report tells us companies are deploying Microsoft Copilot without employee training and that has a detrimental impact on successful AI adoption outcomes.

Experimentation is not adoption. There’s more to AI than better search.

Showing people what’s possible today, how their workflows can change, to boost their effectiveness and business productivity is empowering. It creates skills and resilience enabling your workforce to adapt in the AI era.

Provide the skills based training your people need to thrive.

More than the technical skills, it’s the mindset to adapt and thrive in the AI era they crave. Build a workforce that’s skilled, capable and confident to move forward at the pace of AI.
