It’s another new year! And our charter on the Microsoft Partner Network readiness team is to help you meet your training and learning goals for the year.
Whatever those goals are, continuous learning is a great way to keep your skills sharp and give you an edge. This year, I encourage you to block training into your ‘to do’ list at least once per month.
And while that may sound like a challenge, keeping your resolutions and learning new skills this New Year is something you and your team can do.
Training resources for 2016
In 2016, focus remains on cloud. This means both learning about cloud and learning through the cloud.
To help you learn about cloud products and solutions, we’ve designed efficient trainings and user-friendly platforms. Here are a few ways you can get started:
Study product and solutions via online training. Search on “cloud” in Partner University to access relevant trainings on our new online, cloud-based learning platform. You’ll find the new platform is more robust than our previous Partner Learning Center. I’m proud of the work our teams did to release this platform and look forward to adding more content to the Partner U as the months carry on.
Get ready for the release of our new Cloud Roadshow this spring. Look for more details on this in an upcoming post.
Finally, keep in mind that training for yourself and your team doesn’t have to be expensive or time consuming. Here’s a look at money and time-saving offers on practice and certification exams you can leverage to make it happen:
This year, I hope you and your team leverage the resources and discounts Microsoft is offering so that you can drive even more innovation through your curiosity and the new skills you gain from exploring it! Here’s to a successful year ahead.
