Microsoft has today announced it will double its existing AI and digital skilling commitment in New Zealand, with a plan to train up over 200,000 Kiwis by 2028. The company has observed this training will help many businesses, with survey data showing 59 percent of Kiwi business leaders say productivity must increase. Microsoft's national chief technology officer, Sarah Carney, says upskilling will help unlock more opportunities for New Zealand's future. "Skilling is how you unlock that. Teach people how to use the tools and set them free." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
