Microsoft and Towards AI are addressing the AI skills gap with a new course, "AI for Business Professionals," designed to help professionals move beyond basic AI usage to achieve significant improvements in work quality and innovation. This initiative comes as organizations increasingly recognize generative AI as a game-changer but struggle with effective adoption due to a lack of strategic knowledge and technical skills among their teams. The course aims to transform individuals from merely AI-curious to AI-skilled collaborators, enabling them to use AI not just for speed, but to generate innovative ideas and achieve exceptional quality in their work.
The "AI for Business Professionals" course offers practical training tailored for diverse roles, including software engineers and investment research analysts. It provides modules and actionable strategies designed to optimize coding, streamline administrative tasks, and identify groundbreaking opportunities using AI. The self-paced course includes short videos, hands-on exercises, real-world demos, and expert guidance, all designed for busy, non-technical professionals. Participants will learn how to use AI deeply, effectively, and strategically in their daily work, addressing common issues such as distrust in AI output and uncertainty about time savings.
Microsoft emphasized the importance of continuous learning and career development in keeping up with evolving business needs. Nearly half (47%) of businesses say their top workforce strategy over the next 12 to 18 months is to train their existing workforce in AI skills. The course aims to provide individuals with the opportunity to develop the AI skills they need to build confidence, establish fluency, and thrive in the new AI economy. A free lesson is available to preview the course's content and learn how to use AI effectively, and strategically in daily work. The full course is available for $399.
