How to launch a hands-on Azure Academy training as an employer?
1
Capturing aspirations
In the aspiration phase, we work with you to define the objectives for the intended training of new employees – the business case. We provide advice and assess your organization’s needs.
2
Initiating the practical training
In the initiation phase, we design the training program based on the previously defined business case. We create a planning schedule and cost estimate. If desired, our partners can support you with the recruitment and selection of candidates.
3
Practice-Based Training
During the training phase, participants follow an intensive, practice-based program. They receive support from a coach or buddy throughout the process. Progress and results are regularly discussed with both the participant and you, the employer.
4
Evaluation and completion
In the evaluation and completion phase, the program is formally concluded. Participants who successfully complete the training receive their official certificates and a letter of recognition. Together with the employer, we evaluate the program based on the objectives defined during the aspiration phase.
5
Lifelong learning
After employees have started in their (new) roles, they can stay up to date with new and relevant developments in Microsoft technologies through, among other things, our exclusive training offerings for alumni.
For each participant, we are happy to discuss the best path to stay current and explore further growth opportunities.
