Microsoft to train 1 million people in AI

Microsoft have announced an initiative to train 1 million people in AI and combat the digital skills gap.

What is Microsoft Get On?

The innovative Microsoft Get On campaign has already impacted the lives of over 1.1 million individuals in the UK, aligning seamlessly with our core values and mission at Firebrand; for this reason, we are proud to support it.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has an unparalleled potential to revolutionise industries and transform the job landscape. According to HM King Charles, who opened last week's AI Safety Summit with a video address, the development of advanced AI “no less important than the discovery of electricity.”

Is the UK ready for AI? 

According to a recent study by YouGov, 54% of UK business leaders are concerned their workforce lacks the skills to make the most of AI.

At Firebrand, we firmly believe in the power of technology to create opportunities for all. As one of the few companies in the world recognised as an official Microsoft Cloud Partner, we are at the forefront of innovation in Cloud Computing, Cyber Security, and Data, AI, and Machine Learning.

Microsoft courses have been a core part of our offering ever since we opened our doors in 2001 and form the basis of our Government-funded IT Apprenticeships and Skills Bootcamps in Digital that help reshape UK businesses from the ground up. What is more, we specialise in accelerated courses that help people get certified and back to work at twice the speed. 

Is your business ready for AI?

The transformative force of AI will reshape businesses and drive economic growth into 2030 and beyond. If your business is not concerned about AI now, chances are it will soon be. And, by that time, your competitors may be ahead of the game.

AI training is not just just how to use AI, but how to prepare your business for it so that, when you have to use it, the transition is seamless. It means having your data and cloud systems in order, secure from hackers and available in such a way as to properly feed Machine Learning. To achieve this, your tech team needs education, technical expertise, and practical skills in all these areas.
