Building the foundation for AI: Cloud, data, security, and AI skills for partners
🎓 Microsoft’s August skilling update starts with a practical question: which skills will help your team deliver the AI outcomes customers need?
🎓 The Partner Skilling Hub Agent can recommend training, answer learning questions and build personalized technical plans based on roles and goals.
🎓 The update connects that starting point to agents, Microsoft 365 Copilot, certifications, hands-on learning and co-sell execution.
🎓 For partner learning and practice leaders, it provides a way to build a focused plan across cloud, data, security and business applications, rather than treating AI learning as a standalone technical topic.
